Relationship Between Phonetics and Phonology

Phonetics is the study of the production, transmission, and reception of speech sounds, while phonology is the study of how sounds are selected, organized, and classified in a particular language. Phonetics describes speech sounds universally, while phonology examines the phonemes, or distinctive sounds, that make up the words of a specific language. Phonetics is concerned with the physical aspects of speech sounds, while phonology focuses on the abstract, systematic relationships between sounds in a language.

PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY

BUSHRA AHMAD
M.A. ELT I Semester
DEFINING PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY
1) Phonetics is the study of the
• Production
• Transmission, and
• Reception
of speech sounds.

2) Phonology is the study of the


• Selection
• Organisation, and
• Functional classification
of sounds of a particular language.
Francis Katamba, in his book An Introduction to
Phonology defines Phonetics and Phonology as follows:

• “Phonetics is the study of the production of speech


sounds by speakers, their perception by hearers, and
their acoustic properties.”

• “Phonology is the branch of linguistics which


investigates the ways in which speech sounds are
used systematically to form words and utterances.”

• Descriptive linguistics • Theoretical linguistics
• All speech sounds • Sounds of a particular
(universal) language
• Studies ‘phones’ • Studies ‘phonemes’
• Limited scope • Broader scope
• Articulation/Production • Selection
• Transmission • Organisation
• Reception • Function
• Description • Distribution

• Physical aspect analysis, etc
• Parole • Abstract/mental aspect
• Individuality • Langue
• Identification • Interrelationship
• Interpretation
