Phonetics and Phonology Task

The document discusses the differences between phonetics and phonology. Phonetics is the physical study of sound production and perception, analyzing how sounds are made regardless of language. Phonology studies how sounds are organized and relate within the sound system of a specific language. While phonetics looks at individual sounds, phonology examines abstract sound patterns and relationships between sounds. Understanding phonetics and phonology is important for learning pronunciation when studying a foreign language.
