WHAT IS PHONETICS? phonetics is defined as the scientific study of speech sounds, how they are made, how they are perceived and the physics involved
WHAT IS PHONOLOGY? phonology is defined as the scientific study of how the speech sound are organized into systems for each individual language.
SOUNDS AND SOUND GROUPS There are forty-four sounds in the English language These groups of sounds, each represented by one letter of the phonetic alphabet are called phonemes.
PHONEMIC TRANSCRIPTION The method of representing each phoneme by one symbol is called phonemic transcription. Phonemic transcription may be enclosed in diagonal lines / /
Each phoneme may be represented by different sounds in different positions, so the different /t/ sounds in tea and two both represent the /t/ phoneme
