PHONOLOGY
Phonology is a branch of linguistics concerned
with the systematic organization of sounds in
language. It has traditionally focused largely on
study of systems of phonemes in particular
languages.
Phonology also includes the study of
equivalent organizational system in sign
languages.
What is phonology
Phonology is the study of the soundsystem of language. It is a huge area oflanguage theory its difficult to do more ingeneral language course than have an outlineknowledge of what it include.
Phonology is concerned with anatomyand physiology – the organ of speech andhow we learn to use them.
Rules of phonology
Phonetic
The keynote
The process of phonation
Classification of languages
Classification of vocal
syllable
Functional phonology
To determine the change of sounds in a word
Learning how to work in human organs, mainly associated with the use of language
Learn about the process of establishing a sounds, presentation / pronunciation
Phonology is just one of several aspects oflanguage,. It is related to other aspects suchas phonetics, morphology, syntax,pragmatics.
Models of phonology
1. In classical phonemics, phonemes and their possible combinations are central.
2. In standard generative phonology, distinctive features are central. A strum of speech is portrayed as linear sequence of discrete sound-segment. Each segment is composed of simultaneously occurring features.
3. In non-linear models of phonology, a stream of speech is represented as multidimensional, not simply as a linear sequence of sound segments. These non-linear models grew out of generative phonology :
- auto segmental phonology
- metrical phonology
- lexical phonology
Phonological typology
Because the number of phonemes is static at any given point in a languages history . It is possible to classy languages according to the phonemes they contain. Remember that is typology is the study of structural features across languages. Phonological typology involves comparing languages according to the number or type of sounds they contain.
Structural phonology
Structural phonology refers to the learns of structural grammar it also related structural phonemic.
Segmental and suprasegmental phonemesFrom the procedure of finding the
contrastive units of sounds that make a difference.
Generative phonology
Transformation generative phonology is arelatively development in linguistic theory.Chomsky launched transformationgenerative grammar in 1957 , but the cardiesstudies in this frame work were largelyconcerned with syntax.
Conclusion and suggested reading
Structural phonologies championed thephoneme, an abstract phonological unitconsisting of a calss of real sound calledallophomes are determined primarily byinvestigating minimal pairs andcomplementary distributions.
