Phoneme manipulation is the most advanced form of phonemic
awareness. These activities require children to add or substitute phonemes in words:
■ Phoneme addition. Say a word and then say it again with a phoneme added at the
beginning (an > fan) or end (an > ant).
■ Phoneme deletion. Say a word and then say it again without the initial (farm > arm)
or ending (farm > far) sound.
■ Phoneme substitution. Substitute initial sounds in lyrics of familiar songs (Fe-Fi-
Fiddly-i-o > De-Di-Diddly-i-o)
Yes, phonemes is the plural of phoneme.
There are two phonemes in the word "phoneme." The "ph" sound represents one phoneme (/f/) and the "oneme" part represents another (/oʊ/).
This varies according to accent. A phoneme is a speech sound, and in some accents, the r is strong, so it is a separate phoneme. For example, in the word "word" there are three phonemes - w / or / d but this is where the differentiation between accents may come in to play. In some accents of the US, the r would be pronounced quite strongly, and be considered its own phoneme, whilst in England and Australia, the r is a very weak sound, and becomes part of the or phoneme.
The decision on which phoneme is standard and which are its allophones depends on the distribution of sounds in a language. If two sounds do not contrast in a way that changes the meaning of a word, they are likely allophones of the same phoneme. Analyzing minimal pairs and complementary distribution can help identify the standard phoneme and its allophones.
