Phonectis and Phonology








PHONETICS
PHONOLOGY
It relates to the sounds of language
It studies how those sounds are put together to create meaning.
Phonemes, or units of sound that are used in all languages to create words, are the focus of the study of phonetics.

Phonology studies the rules in any given language that govern how those phonemes are combined to create meaningful words. 
Phonetics attempts to understand how each one of these phonemes is physically formed and produced by humans. These units can be categorized by how they are produced and whether they are voiced or voiceless.
Phonology is the study of how phonemes are put together and how they create meaning for the speaker of any given language.  Some phonemes may have slightly different meanings or uses in two different languages, and phonology is an attempt to understand these changes in meaning
The phonetic alphabet is a collection of symbols meant to represent the actual sound of each phoneme as it is pronounced in different situations. For example, a consonant may have two different symbols because it has two different ways of being pronounced depending on the word it is used in.
Phonology studies how the phonemes of a word can change over time and how this affects word meaning. Phonology also examines the patterns of how phonemes are used in a language
phonetics studies the production of sounds
Phonology studies the combination of sounds
Phonetics can be used to explore the sounds that are used in any language.
Phonology looks at only one language at a time.

Own definition:
·         Phonetics is the term for the description and classification of speech sounds, particularly how sounds are produced, transmitted and received.

·         Phonology is the study of the speech sounds used in a particular language or context.

3. . Definitions:


* Phoneme: It is a unit of a sound in a specific language that distinguish one word for another.  
Example: 

                                                                                                                PAT



                                                          


                                                                                                 PAD  
                                                                                                   
                                             BAT 



BAD   
  


                                                                                                 





* A Consonant Cluster in a word is a group of consonants with no vowels between them, for example some words contain three or more consonants together.



Diagraph is a pair of characters used together to represent a single sound, such as "sh" in English



4. There are 20 vowel phonemes in English.




5. What is Word Stress:

In one word, we accentuate ONE syllable. We say one syllable very loudly (big, strong, important) and all the other syllables veryquietly.


Examples:


 TAble                               HAPpy                       geoGRAPHic
