PHONOLOGY
Marlene Reyes
PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE
In pairs , discuss some concepts:
1. Phonetics, phonology , pronunciation ,
phonics, phoneme.
2. How do you include pronunciation in your
class. Mention 5 different strategies used or
seen used in class.
PHONETICS
Definition: The branch of linguistics
concerned with the study of speech sounds
with reference to their distribution and
patterning. Adjective: phonological.

phonetics
phonetics (f-ntks) n. (used with a sing. verb)
1. The branch of linguistics that deals with the
sounds of speech and their production,
combination, description, and representation
by written symbols.
2. The system of sounds of a particular
language.

PHONOLOGY

with reference to their distribution and

PHONEME
Definition: The smallest sound unit in a
language that is capable of conveying a
distinct meaning, such as the s of sing and the
r of ring. Adjective: phonemic.

PHONOLOGY
Phonology is the study of the properties of
sound systems, the principles that govern the
ways in which speakers of different languages
organise speech sounds to express meanings.

Phonetics and phonology
Definition of Phonetics and Phonology
Phonetics and phonology are related, dependent fields for
studying aspects of language. Phonetics is the study of sound
in speech; phonology is the study (and use) of sound patterns
to create meaning. Phonetics focuses on how speech is
physically created and received, including study of the human
vocal and auditory tracts, acoustics, and neurology.
Phonology relies on phonetic information for its practice, but
focuses on how patterns in both speech and non-verbal
communication create meaning, and how such patterns are
interpreted. Phonology includes comparative linguistic studies
of how cognates, sounds, and meaning are transmitted
among and between human communities and languages.

PHONETICS
Phonetics (pronounced /fntks/, from the
Greek: , phn, 'sound, voice') is a branch of
linguistics that comprises the study of the sounds
of human speech, orin the case of sign
languagesthe equivalent aspects of sign.
[1]
It is
concerned with the physical properties of speech
sounds or signs (phones): their physiological
production, acoustic properties, auditory
perception, and neurophysiological status.
Phonology, on the other hand, is concerned with
the abstract, grammatical characterization of
systems of sounds or signs.

Phonetics: its branches
The field of phonetics is a multiple layered subject
of linguistics that focuses on speech. In the case
of oral languages there are three basic areas of
study:
Articulatory phonetics: the study of the production
of speech sounds by the articulatory and vocal
tract by the speaker
Acoustic phonetics: the study of the physical
transmission of speech sounds from the speaker
to the listener
Auditory phonetics: the study of the reception and
perception of speech sounds by the listener

The difference between phonetics
and phonology

Phonology concerns itself with systems of
phonemes, abstract cognitive units of speech
sound or sign which distinguish the words of a
language. Phonetics, on the other hand,
concerns itself with the production,
transmission, and perception of the physical
phenomena which are abstracted in the mind
to constitute these speech sounds or signs.

language.
