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

PHONOLOGY

Definition: The branch of linguistics concerned with the study of speech sounds with reference to their distribution and patterning. Adjective: phonological.

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 /fəˈnɛtɪks/, from the Greek: φωνή, phōnē, 'sound, voice') is a branch of linguistics that comprises the study of the sounds of human speech, or—in the case of sign languages—the 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.
