Phonetics and Phonology
- PHONETICS
- Definition
- Phonetics, the study of
speech sounds and their
physiological production and
acoustic qualities
- It deals with the configurations of the vocal tract
used to produce speech sounds: Articulatory phonetics,
acoustic phonetics,linguistic phonetics.
- Articulatory Features
- Refers to the “aspects of
phonetics which looks at how the
sounds of speech are made with
the organs of the vocal tract”
Ogden (2009,pp.173).
- Can be seen as divided up into three
areas to describe consonants. These are
voice, place and manner respectively
- Examples
- Articulatory Phonetics (Production)
- For example, the use of your tongue and lips in
producing the words like: moon, stars, flower,
pen, and all other words.
- Acoustic Phonetics
(Transmission)
- For example, when your mom
calls for you from another room.
The sound waves travel from
another room to yours.
- Auditory Phonetics (Perception)
- Like, when your teacher
explains a topic in class and you
are able to understand it after
listening to them.
- PHONOLOGY
- Definition
- Phonology is the branch of linguistics
concerned with the study of speech sounds
with reference to their distribution and
patterning.
- It looks at and tries to establish
a system of sound distinctions
relevant to a particular language
- Suprasegmental Features
- A suprasegmental or prosodic feature is a
speech feature that affects a segment longer
than the phoneme, such as accent, intonation,
rhythm, duration, and others.
- Examples
- The accent
- The prosodic or intensity accent is a special force with which we
pronounce a phoneme Vowel of each word. Although it always falls
on a vowel, which is the syllabic nucleus, it affects the whole
syllable, making it stand out among the other syllables of each
word.
- The breaks/pauses
- The pauses are the more or less long silences that
interrupt the speech and separate some segments from
others. These pauses serve a double function. On the
other hand, it allows us to rest and coordinate breathing
with speech.
- The intonation
- We can define it as the line melodic of a phrase, result
of the succession of the successive tones of the same
voice during the issuance of that phrase.
- Differences
- Phonology belongs
to theoretical
- Can study one specific
language
- Studies different patterns
of sounds in different
languages
- Phonetics belong to
descriptive linguistics
- Studies the production,
transmission, reception of
sound.
- Does not study one particular
language
