either from an articulatory or acoustic aspect, and the resulting contrasting components are called distinctive features.

Jakobson and Halle (1956) developed the following matrix on the basis of traditional articulatory analysis:

+ compact (low V), - compact (high and mid V), + consonantal obstruction in vocal tract, - consonantal no vocal tract obstruction, + continuant fricative/approximant C, - continuant stop/affricate C, + diffuse (high V; labial/dental/alveolar C), - diffuse (low V; palatal/velar/back C), + flat (rounded V), - flat (unrounded V), + grave (back V; labial/velar/back C), - grave (front V; dental/alveolar/palatal C), + nasal (nasal C), - nasal (oral C), + strident (fricative/affricate C with high-frequency noise), - strident (C with low-frequency noise), + vocalic (glottal vibration with free passage of air through vocal tract), - vocalic (no glottal vibration or free passage of air), + voice (voiced C), and - voice (voiceless C)

The contentions of distinctive feature phonologists

By and large, phonologists agree on the principle of phonemic analysis. Nevertheless, there are opposing viewpoints (such as between Martinet and Jakobson) regarding the nature of distinctive features. Features can be seen as binary, i.e. grouped in pairs of opposed features. These pairings are characterized by features such as voiced vs. voiceless, as in French /b/, /d/, and /g/ (voiced), and /p/, /t/, and /k/ (unvoiced). Yet, /l/ has n
