1. Phonetics Phonetics is the scientific study of the speech.

It concerns on how speech sounds are made (articulatory), transmitted
(acoustic), and received (auditory), describes and classifies speech sounds,
studies the physical aspects of speech sounds and how we can recorded
speech sounds with the written symbols (API).
2. Phonology The study of the speech sounds used in language, their basic
activity is phonemic analysis in which the objective is to establish what the
phonemes are and arrive at the phonemic inventory of the language.

Studies the speech sounds Studies the sound systems
and linguistic units (phonemes
and distinctive features)

analysis. morphology , syntax, discourse, and
ortography.
3. What sorts of Phonology are there?
There are six sorts of phonology:
1. Pragmatics. 2.Semantics. 3. Syntax.
2. Morphology. 5.Phonology. 6.Phonetics.
4. What does IPA stand for? The International Phonetic Association and
Alphabet stands for using phonetics to improve the teaching of the spoken
language to foreign learner.
What are three branches of Phonetics? Mention them and write a
concise definition.

1 Articulatory It is concerned with the articulation of speech: The position,
Phonetics: shape, and movement of articulators
or speech organs, such as the lips, tongue, and vocal folds.
2 Acoustic Concerned with the properties of the sound waves (their
Phonetics: physical aspects).
3 Auditory It is concerned with the speech perception
Phonetics: (how sounds are perceived): The perception, categorization,
and recognition of speech sounds and the role of the auditory
system and the brain.
