Answer:

Phonemically

Step-by-step explanation:

The phoneme is the basic unit of the language that is combined with the other phoneme that makes a meaningful unit such as the morphemes and the words.

The phoneme is the basic linguistic unit. It brings the change in meaning. There is the difference between the English word kiss and kill that results in the exchange of the phoneme.

When there is the difference between these two contrast of a single phoneme formed a minimal pair.
