Phonology
Descriptive Linguistics
Thesis Statement: Knowledge on phonology, morphology, syntax and semantics constitutes our understanding of linguistics.
Linguistics is derived from the Latin root “lingua” which means tongue. It is the science of language, its origin, its structure, modification, etc. including phonetics, phonemics, morphology, syntax and semantics of language.
I. Phonology
Phonology is the science of speech sound or the sound system of language. It is also defined as the phonemics and phonetics of a language at a particular time. It also deals with the patterns of intonation. This science is also characterized in many ways. It refers to both linguistic knowledge that speakers have about the sound patterns of language and the description of that language. Also, it tells you what sounds are in your language and which ones are foreign. And, it explains why certain phonetic features are important to identify a word.
Phonetics and phonemics constitutes phonology. However, though these two have similarities, they meant different things. Phonemics is a branch of linguistic analysis involving the study of phonemes. It deals with the structure of a language in terms of phonemes. On the other hand, phonetics is a branch of linguistics which deals with the analysis, description and classification of the sounds of speech.
Phonetics as a science has (3) three kinds: acoustic, auditory, and articulatory phonetics. Acoustic phonetics focuses on the physical properties of sounds. This phonetics focuses on the symbols that represent the sounds of language. Auditory phonetics is concerned with how listeners perceive these sounds. And, articulatory phonetics deals with the study of the vocal tract producing the sounds of the language. It refers to how we produce the sounds of language.
The sounds of language can be represented or symbolized either by using the IPA or the International Phonetic Alphabet or the PCLS or the Philippine Center for Language Study. The
