arrow, single (
):
a symbol used, especially in
phonological analysis,
to indicate a change from one linguistic form (to the left of the arrow)
to another (to the right of the arrow).
For example,
A
B / C__D
means that A changes to B when it is preceded by C and followed by D.
Sometimes this arrow is written -->,
using only symbols that are available on most keyboards.
