What are minimal pairs of words?
In phonology, minimal pairs are pairs of words or phrases in a particular language, spoken or signed, that differ in only one phonological element, such as a phoneme, toneme or chroneme, and have distinct meanings. They are used to demonstrate that two phones represent two separate phonemes in the language.
How do you find minimal pairs?
A minimal pair is a pair of words with ONE phonemic difference only. In order to decide whether a pair of words is a minimal pair or not, you need to know what sounds make up the word, and you need to IGNORE the word's spelling. If you are a native English speaker, you may find this easy.

The use of minimal pairs in treatment is a great method for teaching students to discriminate sounds. Students are able to see how changing a specific sound in a word will change the meaning of the word and they are able to see how it impacts their communication.
What phoneme is ʒ?
The [ʒ] sound is one of the least common consonants in English. English spelling has no specific way to spell this sound, but some uses of s, z, and g really represent a [ʒ]. The symbol [ʒ] is usually called "ezh" [ɛʒ] (but also sometimes "yogh"). It was often used in Old Irish and Old English manuscripts.
What is the difference between dʒ and ʒ?
So, there is the key difference between [dʒ] “dg” (as in “judge”) and [ʒ] “zh” (as in “measure”). [ʒ] “zh” – I can hold the sound for a long time. [dʒ] “dg” – I canNOT hold the sound at all. It's simply one strong puff of air released from the mouth.
What sound is tʃ?
The sound /tʃ/ is a voiceless, alveo-palatal, affricate consonant. Press the middle of your tongue between your alveolar ridge and your soft palate. Quickly move your tongue downward while forcefully pushing air out. The air in your mouth should stop before it is released.
What is minimal pair T and θ?
/t/ is made by clicking your tongue behind your top teeth, similar to /d/ but without your voice being used and with more air released. It is like the tutting sound when you disapprove of something. /θ/ is made with the tongue between the teeth and a smooth release of air without the tongue moving.
What are minimal pairs O and U?
short o /ɑ/ — short u /ʌ/ minimal pairs
The short o is a more open sound than the short u, and the jaw is slightly dropped. The short u is a quicker sound — the word “luck” should take less time than the word “lock” if both words are being stressed equally in a sentence.
What are minimal pairs in phonetics?
