Hi everybody,
I want to know what is exactly complementary distribution mean, because I found many vague definitions and explanations as a beginner.:-(
The one that I have in my copybook is:-?: The two allophones are also said to be in a complementary distribution, they can be used interchangable and different environment (different places in a word )without resulting in a change in a given word meaning.
Could you please explain to me what does it mean complementary distribution?
All the best
