Orthography in which the graphemes correspond to the phonemes of the language
A phonemic orthography is an orthography in which the graphemes correspond consistently to the language’s phonemes, or more generally to the language’s diaphonemes.[1]
For a systemic analyis of the phoneme/grapheme correspondence, Petr Sgall distinguishes two conditions, both of which are to be satisfied for a phonemic orthography:[2]
- in any context, a given grapheme is pronounced as the same phoneme (“uniqueness of pronunciation”)
- in any context, a given phoneme is written with the same grapheme (“uniqueness of spelling”)
