This is just an analogy.). Phonology â¢Phonology is largely concerned with the contrastive sounds of a language. â¢Using the letter analogy again: bat and cat ant and Ant are minimally different but have the same meaning. Minimal Pairs â¢To determine if two sounds are contrastive, we look for minimal pairs. â¢A minimal pair is two words... 1. with the same number of sound segments, and 2. which differ in one segment only, and 3. which have different meanings E.g. bean [bin] vs. mean [min], mud [mÊd] vs. thud [Î¸Êd] Thus, [b] and [m] are contrastive; so are [m] and [Î¸].
The Various Rib Types. When you talk about ribs, you are talking about a very wide variety of rib types including those from pork, beef, and lamb. There are also the exotic varieties such as buffalo, elk, wild boar, and venison. My favorite has always been the pork spare ribs which I will cover in detail below.
Ribs are classified as a type of finger food and are cooked to be tender, often described as falling right off the bone. Baby back ribs are often marinated with barbecue sauce before being prepared on a grill. Baby back ribs are a popular backyard grilling item. Baby back ribs are a perennial favorite at backyard barbecues. French fries are often served with baby back ribs.
