A phone (i.e. speech sound) often corresponds to a particular phoneme. However, there is not necessarily a one-to-one mapping between phonemes and phones (speech sounds); speech sounds often undergo changes that are triggered by different phonological contexts. The contextual variants of a particular phone are called allophones (or "speech sound variants") of a particular phoneme.
