Phonemes are abstract units of sound, defined as the smallest units in a language that can serve to distinguish between the meaning of a pair of minimally different words, a so-called minimal pair.
But it is a judgment only minimally different from a brute, "natural" reaction, a judgment "not in the first instance to be identified with the acceptance of some proposition as true" (Ginsborg 2011b, 177).
A final example of how alien plant species can challenge species concepts is demonstrated by the ecological species concept where a species is a lineage that occupies an adaptive zone minimally different from that of any other lineage in its range and that evolves separately from all lineages outside its range.
We determine the number of species using the Ecological Species Concept[ 22- 24], which defines a species as "a lineage which occupies an adaptive zone minimally different from that of any other lineage in its range and which evolves separately from all other lineages outside its range," without claiming that this definition is always appropriate.
In essence, ecological speciation is related to the "ecological species concept", which was defined as follows [ 26]: "a species is a lineage (or a closely related set of lineages), which occupies an adaptive zone minimally different from that of any other lineage in its range and which evolves separately from all lineages outside its range".
N-at+N constructions are therefore compared to the minimally different Nat+Adj, and four differences are singled-out.
Over the past 50 years, the dominant method for identifying the properties of syntactic representations has involved comparing two (or more) minimally different representations using a behavioral response known as an acceptability judgment as a proxy for grammatical well-formedness (Chomsky, 1965; Schütze, 1996).
Sixty patients scheduled to be operated for a primary THR were enrolled in the study and were randomly assigned to surgery by one of three different TSS approaches: lateral with mini incision (group A), minimally invasive anterior (group B) and minimally invasive antero-lateral (group C).
The patients were randomly assigned to have surgery through one of three different TSS surgical approaches: lateral with mini incision (group A), minimally invasive anterior (group B), and minimally invasive antero-lateral (group C).
In terms of cell density, an OD600 of 5 clearly led to higher HOBB production than an OD600 of 2 in PBS (pH 7.5), and DBF degradation and HOBB accumulation were only minimally different from that observed at an OD600 of 10 (Fig. 3c).
