Graphs and oppositions

Vol.58,No.1-2(2010)

Abstract
In the present paper we will try to demonstrate some of advantages of considering a phonemic system as a graph, although the paper is only a short sketch of the whole problem. The graphic expression of phonemic systems is a common practice in phonology since Trubetzkoy, though such a practice is not based on the graph theory, but more on the intuition of scholars.
