Phonology Questions and Answers

1. What is phonology?
Phonology is the study of the sound systems of languages, focusing on how
sounds function and
pattern in a particular language or languages.

2. What is the difference between phonetics and phonology?


Phonetics deals with the physical properties of sounds (articulation, acoustic
properties, and auditory
perception), while phonology studies the abstract, cognitive aspects of sounds and
how they interact in
a language.

3. What is a phoneme?
A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound in a language that can distinguish
meaning. For example, the
words "bat" and "pat" differ by one phoneme /b/ and /p/.

4. What is an allophone?
An allophone is a variant pronunciation of a phoneme that occurs in specific
contexts. For example,
the /p/ in "pat" is aspirated [pʰ], while the /p/ in "spat" is unaspirated [p].

5. What is a minimal pair?


A minimal pair is a pair of words that differ by only one phoneme,
demonstrating that the sounds are
distinct phonemes in that language. For example, "bit" and "bat."

6. What is the concept of syllable structure?


Syllable structure refers to the organization of sounds within a syllable,
typically consisting of an
onset (consonant sound), nucleus (vowel sound), and coda (final consonant sound).
For example, in
the word "cat," /k/ is the onset, /æ/ is the nucleus, and /t/ is the coda.

7. What is stress in phonology?


Stress refers to the emphasis placed on certain syllables within words, which
can affect the meaning
and pronunciation. For example, the noun "record" has stress on the first syllable,
while the verb
"record" has stress on the second syllable.

8. Define grapheme
A grapheme is the written form of a sound. For example, the word tap consists
of three graphemes
t, a, and p. The word trap consists of four graphemes t, r, a, and p.
9. Define Intonation
Intonation refers to the rise and fall of voice pitch while speaking. It plays
a crucial role in
conveying meaning, emotion, and emphasis in language.

10. Communication and its importance

11. Barriers to communication

12. Swot analysis and its usag
