  1. Phonology Rebecca Bergey TRED 256

  2. What is the difference?Share your ideas with a partner. Phonetics Phonology The study of speech sounds. The study of the way speech sounds form patterns.

  3. Phonemes • The basic form of a sound • What is sensed or felt in your mind

  4. Morphophonemic rules • Rules that determine the phonetic form plural morpheme and other morphemes

  5. Allophone • The sound that describes a phoneme • It may differ according to environment • There may be several allophones for the same phoneme

  6. Phonological rules • When looking at a phoneme, the rules that describe which allophone is used in which environment

  7. Minimal Pairs • Help us to determine the rules for a particular phoneme • Two words with different meanings that are the same except for one sound that occurs in the same place in each word • Are like the control sample when doing a scientific experiment of a hypothesis • Example: cap, cab or cat, mat

  8. Distinctive feature • Something that distinguishes one phoneme from another phoneme and therefore creates a different word • Ex. Seal vs. Zeal

  9. Non-distinctive • Redundant • Predictable • Follows a rule for a particular class of sounds

  10. Differences in usage across languages • Different phonological rules • Allophones used in different ways • Phonemes or allophones that do not occur across languages

  11. How does this work? Input phonemic representation of word phonological rules Output phonetic representation of word

  12. Phonology in the classroom Some downfalls of the Audio-lingual approach to second language instruction: • Language is not only speech, but must also include writing. • If second language learners are literate adults, they should not be taught using only a phonological system. • Phonology should not be taught isolated from the syntactic system of a language.
