Relative intensity of voiceless stop allophones also meets expectations. As an illustration, let us return briefly to the example of context-dependent lateral allophones. Again, the shaded areas indicate those dependents that pattern with allophones in a consistent, directional manner. However, the distribution of stop allophones cannot be fully stated without adjunction structures. A problem lies in how the allophones are categorised. In contrast, the results for stop aspiration duration suggest that the different voiceless stop allophones (aspirated versus unaspirated) are acquired with syllable structure. But we can still say that the allophone choice and the vowel and syllable duration indicate headship in general. The morphology of these words does not affect the choice of allophone. There is an important empirical consequence of the foot-based analysis of stop allophones which cannot be derived in syllable-based theories, even with ambisyllabicity. This was done by reducing acceptable allophones to their standard phonemic form. This subtle relationship between allophones of adjacent phonemes suggests that the drive for contrast maintenance occurs at a less abstract level than the phoneme. The first part of the chapter is devoted to the allophony of voiced oral stops, which have continuant allophones in many contexts. One might wish to argue that, if various allophones are realizations of one phoneme, various 'allospells' are realizations of one 'spelleme'. It is assumed that both voiced and voiceless allophones of /s/ were responsible. These examples are from corpora and from sources on the web.
