Good vid, but it should have been [s] and [z] (not /s/ and /z/) are in contrastive distribution, so that you were comparing like with like, and not being circular (slashes indicate phonemes which by definition are in contrastive distribution). Phonemes are the smallest *word* (not meaning) distinguishing unit in a language. Adding a rising tone in English changes the meaning of an utterance from a statement to a question. That does not mean that a rising tone in English is a phoneme, because it does not change any word into a different word.
Hello, Sir. I have never learnt linguistics and equally never had the chance to learn phonemes. But I am enjoying listening to this lecture. Thank you for sharing.
In Spanish, [s] and [z] are allophones, as no Spanish word contains the [z] sound. This allophony is most common in the dialects of Colombia and the west of Venezuela

So if we had a language with a set of only two words "Cat" and "Tap" , both meaning lets say the Sun, them /k/ and /t/ wouldnt be conclude to be different phonemes dispite the noticeble difference between the [k] and [t] sounds?
The key is "noticeable". In a language where two sounds are allophones of the same phoneme, the allophones would not be cognitively 'noticeably' different.
