a minimal pair

基本解释

In the paper, an optimal design model of a pair of a spherical distributor is built up according to the principle of forces and moments balancing, minimal leakage and compact structure.
本文根据力、力矩平衡、泄漏小以及结构紧凑的原则，建立了球面配流副的优化设计模型。
Minimal pairs: When two different forms are identical in every way except for one sound segment which occurs in the same place in the strings, the two words are said to form a minimal pair.
如果两个不同的语音组合，除了在相同的位置有一个语音切分不同之外，其他任何方面都相同，那么这两个语音组合就被认为形成了一个最小独立对。

确定一种语言的音位的一个基本途径是，看如果用一个语音代替另一个是否会产生不同的意义。如果产生了，那么这两个语音就代表不同的音位。为此，一个简单的办法就是找出最小对立对。
