biunique, a. Chiefly Math. and Linguistics.|baɪjuːˈniːk, ˈbaɪjuːniːk| [f. bi-2 + unique a.] Consisting of, pertaining to, or being a one-to-one correspondence, spec. between phonemic and phonetic representations.
1941O. Helmer tr. Tarski's Introd. Logic xxxiii. 103 One-to-one relations or biunique functions. 1944Z. S. Harris in Language XX. 187 We are preserving the bi-unique one-to-one correspondence of phonemic writing. (The term bi-unique implies that the one-to-one correspondence is valid whether we start from the sounds or from the symbols: for each sound one symbol, for each symbol one sound.) 1953A. A. Fraenkel Abstract Set Theory i. 31 We pointed out the difference between biunique (one-to-one) and merely unique correspondence. 1956Nature 11 Feb. 283/2 The combination of solutions that bring about the disappearance of the abnormal symptom defines the element responsible, because elements and combinations are in a biunique correspondence. 1968P. M. Postal Aspects Phonol. Theory iii. 51 He argues fallaciously that a biunique phonemic level (called ‘C-phonemics’) is necessary to distinguish those phonetic features which are distinctive from those which are not. 1975N. Chomsky Logical Struct. Linguistic Theory vii. 187 By definition, the set of ρ-derivations is uniquely determined by P. Thus if ρτ is defined to uniqueness in terms of ρ, one part of this biunique relation will hold. Hence ˌbiuˈniqueness, ˌbiuˈniquely adv.
1959F. W. Householder in Saporta & Bastian Psycholinguistics (1961) 22/1 Segmentation in morphology is also troubled by the stipulation of biuniqueness. 1968P. M. Postal Aspects Phonol. Theory iii. 51 Most crucially, perhaps, Lamb states quite clearly as justification of the Biuniqueness Principle..the fallacious argument documented and analyzed in Chapters 1 and 2. 1975N. Chomsky Logical Struct. Linguistic Theory vii. 187 We..require that P be related biuniquely to ρτ, in the sense that P be uniquely recoverable from ρτ, and ρτ be uniquely constructible from P. 1981Amer. Speech 1977 LII. 171 The insistence upon phonemic biuniqueness must be given up. |
