Phonetics and Phonology
  1. PHONETICS
    1. Definition
      1. Phonetics, the study of speech sounds and their physiological production and acoustic qualities
        1. It deals with the configurations of the vocal tract used to produce speech sounds: Articulatory phonetics, acoustic phonetics,linguistic phonetics.
      2. Articulatory Features
        1. 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).
          1. Can be seen as divided up into three areas to describe consonants. These are voice, place and manner respectively
        2. Examples
          1. Articulatory Phonetics (Production)
            1. For example, the use of your tongue and lips in producing the words like: moon, stars, flower, pen, and all other words.
            2. Acoustic Phonetics (Transmission)
              1. For example, when your mom calls for you from another room. The sound waves travel from another room to yours.
              2. Auditory Phonetics (Perception)
                1. Like, when your teacher explains a topic in class and you are able to understand it after listening to them.
            3. PHONOLOGY
              1. Definition
                1. Phonology is the branch of linguistics concerned with the study of speech sounds with reference to their distribution and patterning.
                  1. It looks at and tries to establish a system of sound distinctions relevant to a particular language
                2. Suprasegmental Features
                  1. 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.
                  2. Examples
                    1. The accent
                      1. 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.
                      2. The breaks/pauses
                        1. 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.
                        2. The intonation
                          1. 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.
                      3. Differences
                        1. Phonology belongs to theoretical
                          1. Can study one specific language
                            1. Studies different patterns of sounds in different languages
                          2. Phonetics belong to descriptive linguistics
                            1. Studies the production, transmission, reception of sound.
                              1. Does not study one particular language
