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 (food) Ribs of pork, beef, lamb, and venison are a cut of meat. The term ribs usually refers to the less meaty part of the chops, often cooked as a slab (not cut into separate ribs). Ribs of bison, goat, ostrich, crocodile, alligator, llama, alpaca, beefalo, African buffalo, water buffalo, kangaroo, and other animals are also consumed in various parts of the world.
