ABSTRACT
Phonemes themselves are then combined sequentially to form morphemes, the smallest independently meaningful units of language. Any particular language will exclude a large number of possible human utterances from the sphere of the phonemic. Phonemic objects are almost paradigmatic examples of sound-objects of complex morphology. A superficial listening might suggest that it contains three separate sound entities. As a sound-object, therefore, this event consists of a complex but continuous motion through the formant space, most likely simultaneous to a slight movement of the fundamental pitch. A similar complexity of timbral morphology may be found in the utterances of other creatures. Phonemic objects, then, are interesting sound-objects from the point of view of the musician interested in sound-objects of dynamic morphology. Language divides the human repertoire into few distinct fields. Phonemic analogy and formant tracking of pitch can also be found in human names for animal sounds.
