Professor Whatmough's assault on the terms "phonemic" and "phonemics" seemed to me, as to others, pedantic. So it is a pleasure to discover that his antipathy to these now well-established terms is not so deep rooted and consistent as one would suppose from his words in CP, XXXVIII (1943), 211: "Nobody says mathemics instead of mathematics; and I, for one, do not say, and never shall, phonemics for phonematics or phonemic for phonematic." In happening to re-read an earlier article of his in the Mélanges linguistiques offerts à M. Holger Pedersen (1937),. I find him beginning a sentence (p. 46) "Ideally the phonemic system of a language. . . . ."

- ^ as well as the segmental features – then 'phonemics' becomes equivalent to phonology (= phonemic phonology). This view was particularly common in later developments of the American structuralist tradition of linguistic analysis, where linguists adopting this 'phonemic principle' were called phonemicists. Many phonologists, however (particularly in the British tradition), prefer not to analyse suprasegmental features in terms of phonemes, and have developed approaches which do without the phoneme altogether ('nonphonemic phonology', as in prosodic and distinctive feature theories).
