In this episode of The A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack discuss minimal pairs. They focus on the /p/ and /b/ sounds.
Minimal pairs are pairs of words that differ by only one phoneme and have different meanings. Here are some minimal pairs with the sounds /b/ and /p/:
bat / pat
ball / Paul
bin / pin
bark / park
bat / pat
ban / pan
bet / pet
bake / pake
best / pest
bow / pow
buy / pie
big / pig
boat / coat
back / pack
beach / peach
These minimal pairs illustrate how a single phoneme change can result in completely different words and meanings. The /b/ and /p/ sounds are distinguished primarily by their voicing: /b/ is voiced, while /p/ is voiceless.
