    1) Phonology is the study of sound systems of languages. Phonetics deals with the production of speech sounds by humans without prior language knowledge. 2) Phonemes are the basic units of speech sounds and can be segmental or supra-segmental. Segmental phonemes include vowels and consonants represented by the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). 3) Supra-segmental phonemes involve stress, pitch, juncture, and intonation which contribute to the tonal qualities of language.

    PHONOLOGY PHONETICS

    It is derived from the Phonetics deals with


    Greek words; phonos the production of
    means sound or voice, speech sounds by
    humans, often without
    and logos means
    prior knowledge of the
    study. language being
    spoken.
    It is the study of
    sound system of
    languages.
    PHONEMES
    • the basic unit of speech sounds.
    • Phonemes are of two kinds:
    • Segmental Phonemes
    • Supra-segmental Phonemes
    SEGMENTAL PHONEMES
     These are speech sounds that build up
    words which are represented by
    phonetic symbols.
     The phonetic symbols used are the IPA
    ( International Phonetic Alphabet).
     There are two kinds of segmental
    phonemes: vowel sounds and
    consonant sounds.
    Segmental
    Phonomes

    Vowels Consonants
    INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC ALPHABET (IPA)

    The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)is an


    alphabetic system of phonetic notation based
    primarily on the Latin alphabet. It was devised by
    the International Phonetic Association as a
    standardized representation of the sounds of oral
    language. The IPA is used by foreign language
    students and teachers, linguists, Speech-
    Language Pathologists, singers, actors,
    lexicographers, and translators.
    POINTS TO REMEMBER IN USING IPA

     One sound is associated with one symbol; therefore


    each symbol stands for one sound.
     IPA symbols are in double diagonal bars // and
    transcriptions are in brackets [ ].
     Silent letters are not transcribe.
     The spelling is not the basis of transcription.
     The phonetic symbols should be printed rather than
    written in long hand.
     The symbols are written in small letter prints.

    SUPRA-SEGMENTAL
    PHONEMES

    STRESS PITCH JUNCTURE

    INTONATION
    SUPRA SEGMENTAL PHONEMES

    Stress means the emphasis of a syllable of


    a word in a sentence or utterance. Three things
    happen to the voice when stressing:
    ▪ Volume becomes louder
    ▪ Pitch becomes higher
    ▪ Duration becomes longer
    Example:
    mother, table
    SUPRA -SEGMENTAL PHONEMES

    Pitch refers to the lowness and highness of


    voice. It may be low, normal , or high.

    Juncture is the meaningful stops or pauses.

    Intonation is the combinations of stress,


    pitch and junctures resulting in speech melody.
