John Lyons on Distinctions - Dictionary of Arguments

I 69/70
Distinctions/sound/relativity/Lyons: the difference between[b] and[p] is not absolute but relative. I.e. we are dealing with sound ranges.
>Phonemes
.
Lyons: the difference between[b] and[p] varies constantly (from the phonetic point of view.)
Absolute/Lyons: the difference between the utterance elements /1/ and /2/ is absolute! That is, there is no word in the middle in terms of its grammatical function or meaning, and it is marked by a medium sound.
>disjunctive/Goodman, analog/Goodman.
Sound/conclusion: since the utterance units must not be confused, there must be a safety distance between the sound ranges they realize.
