by Frank Arteaga
1. speech sound
1.1. .
2. Phonetics
2.1. Example:
2.1.1. 1.-The difference between "Z"and"S".
2.2. Example
2.2.1. 2.- The two "th"sounds The voiceless fricative /θ/ is used in words like "think"and "path", while the voiced fricative /ð/ is used in words like"them" and "brother".
2.3. Example
2.3.1. 3.-Phonetic transcription The phonetic transcription of the word "cat" is [kʰæt], which shows the aspiration of the initial "k" sound.
2.4. It studies the physical sounds of speech, regarding their production, articulation, and acoustic properties.
3. PHONOLOGY
3.1. abstract sound patterns of the language
3.2. significant speech sounds within a specific linguistic system
3.2.1. For example, "leg" and "coat", it is easy to notice as / p / and / b /
3.3. phonological units are called phonemes capable modifying the meaning of the words in a language
3.3.1. For example, and as seen in the group of "cava" and "layer" of Cava phoneme it is represented as / b /, since this covers both variants of pronunciation, both as labiodental lip.
3.4. it deals with a limited number of speech sounds , because different phonemes = letters
3.4.1. For example: “p” in “people”, which is different from “table,” where p is p and b is b
