A database of "minimale par"

"Minimale Par" (Danish for "minimal pairs") is a growing database of minimal pairs. Here you can search and collect word pairs with images and generate convenient two-sided PDF files for printing and using in speech language therapy sessions or simply for practicing phonological contrasts in the Danish language.

If you mean "code" but say "tode" - I think of a toad (here's a picture of a toad)

Minimal pairs are technically word pairs differing only by one sound in the same position in each word. However in speech sound disorders it is common to have mislearned phonological representations of clusters of sounds as well as isolated sounds. Therefore "Minimale Par" also uses contrasts on a phonotactical level - word pairs differing by clusters of sounds in the same positions.

Additionally to word pairs it is possible to search for "multiple opposition sets" - sets of words that are all distinguished from each other by one sound (or cluster). Multiple opposition sets can be used when a number of different sounds are all replaced by the same sounds.

When you like a word use to add it to your collection. Use to remove it again.

Ph.d.-studerende med interesse for fonologiske vanskeligheder En stor del af kandidaterne fra audiologopædi på KU og SDU arbejder med børns fonologiske udvikling og med fonologiske vanskeligheder hos børn og voksne. Som undervisere ved faget ønsker vi os mere dansk forskning på området. Vi vil derfor gøre personer med kvalifikationer, interesse og (helst også) relevant erhvervserfaring opmærksomme på muligheden for at ansøge om at blive ph.d.-stipendiat på Institut for Nordiske Studier og Sprogvidenskab, KU. Hvis du har en forsker i maven og en ide til et projekt, er du velkommen til at kontakte en af os og få feedback. M v h Rikke Vang Christensen rikkec@hum.ku.dk og Holger Juul juul@hum.ku.dk
