Categorization is fundamental to all higher cognitive activities. Yet two différent approaches to categorization raise deep philosophical and linguistic problems: one is discrete category (e.g. binary features), the other is continuous category (e.g. prototype categories). In this paper, I will propose an integrated concept called 'phonon', which is a basic unit of phonological representations on some phonological theories (Government Phonology, Particle Phonology, etc.). Furthermore, 'phonon' has both qualitative inner structures which achieve the same effects as the unòerepecificaùon theories and quantitative inner structures including the interaction systems between articulatory and perceptual cost-functions. This idea can also combine phonology with phonetics. Areas of interest phonology, phonetics, cognitive science
