If we replace one phoneme with another, it would cause:

  • A.the change in pronunciation
  • B.the change in syntax
  • C.the change in morphology
  • D.it will not cause any change because of the structure of the sentence

Answer: A

Replacing one phoneme with another changes the pronunciation, and often the word as well. Phonemes are the smallest sound units that distinguish meaning, so changing /p/ to /b/ turns 'pat' into 'bat'. The change is in sound, so the first option is correct. Syntax and morphology deal with sentence structure and word forms, which are not changed directly by the substitution of a sound, and the last option wrongly says there will be no change.
