TASK; Complementary distribution is different from free variation discuss two concepts given sound examples.

-


Complementary distribution   this refers to the same sound phonetic features which appear in different environment.
  Example, the word pin and spin
  P and Ph are in complementary distribution.P or unaspirated p doesn’t occur word initially ,but asprated p does. An English speaker hears sound as the same sound even if some speaker pronounce words with unaspirated [P] at the beginning ,other speaker wont hear those pronunciation as different words with different meaning. 
Pin at the beginning and spin at the middle.
They are occurring in different environmental to complete the meaning.
Pin is initial appeared to complete its own meaning and spin at the middle but complete its meaning
Free variation is a positive definition of phoneme. Thus free variation is a sound occurring in the same environment but not show the different in meaning.
However they might seen to be differ in its phonetic aspect.
 Example, in Swahili language the word Kula means to eat while at Kurya language they call it Kura but those aspect represent the same meaning but in case of phonetic aspect is seen to be differ because each word represent its meaning
In Swahili also the word Mtu which means person but in Makonde language they call Ntu but those represent the same meaning which denoted to the person. Also free variation can be used in any position without any other semantic effect .for example aspiration may be omitted from stops at the end of words in English,however,whether is droped or not is in different ;meaning of the word does not change

International Law

    International Law The body of law that governs the legal relations between or among states or nations.To qualify as a subject under the traditional definition of international law, a state had to be sovereign: It needed a territory, a population, a government, and the ability to engage in diplomatic or foreign relations. States within the United States, provinces, and cantons were not considered subjects of international law, because they lacked the legal authority to engage in foreign relations. In addition, individuals did not fall within the definition of subjects that enjoyed rights and obligations under international law. so there are two types of international law which are public and private international law. Public International Law: Public International laws have been designed to examine the relationships between the countries and states and they govern the binding rules of the international community to avoid any dispute.
