Rfv-sense: linguistics/phonetics. Is the term used in this way by more than one writer? Also the definition is not really intelligible, except that it is suggestive that there is a type of analysis going on (ie, an instance of sense 3). Also by whom is the analysis being done, consciously by a phonetician or unconsciously by a speaker or population of speakers? DCDuring TALK 16:00, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
