Everything about Allophonic Rule totally explained

An allophonic rule is a phonological rule that says which allophone realizes a phoneme in a given phonemic environment. In other words, an allophonic rule is a rule that converts the phonemes in a phonemic transcription into the allophones of the corresponding phonetic transcription. Every dialect has a set of allophonic rules. For example, in General American, a non-regional dialect of American English, the voiceless alveolar stop phoneme /t/ is realized as the alveolar flap allophone [ɾ] when it's preceded by a non-lateral sonorant phoneme and, at the same time, followed by an unstressed vowel phoneme:
/t/ → [ɾ] | /+son -lat/ _ /+vwl -str/
