Concept of English Phonology
Phonology
is the study of the sound system of language. It is the study of the wide
variety of sounds in all languages, of the basic units of sound in a particular
language, and of the regularities and rules that govern pronunciation of
speech.
Cohn
& Huffman (2013: 1) The study of sound structure is commonly divided into phonology
and phonetics. An understanding of the
interface between them is thus dependent on how we delineate the two areas.
Most theorizing about the relationship between phonology and phonetics
acknowledges that there are both conceptual and physical aspects of sounds of
human language. Phonology is often
defined as the cognitive aspects of sound structures and sound patterns, while
phonetics is understood to be the physical implementation of these structures
and patterns. Under this view, phonology
is what the speaker/hearer knows about the sound patterns of his/her language,
and thus is uncontroversial part of the linguistic grammar.
The
goal of phonology is to study the properties of the sound systems which
speakers must learn or internalize in order to use their language for the
purpose of communication. Thus,
when approaching the sound system
of a language, it is
necessary to study
not only the
physical properties of the attested sounds (that is, how they are
made and what their acoustic correlates are),
but also the grammatical
properties of these sounds.
