Study Notes

Orthography Definition

Orthography refers to the conventional spelling system of a language, encompassing rules for writing and combining letters to form words.

English Alphabet

The English alphabet consists of 26 letters, ranging from A to Z.

Relationship Between Letters and Sounds

English orthography features a complex relationship between letters (graphemes) and sounds (phonemes), where one letter can represent multiple sounds, and one sound can be represented by multiple letters or combinations.

Digraphs

Digraphs are pairs of letters that together represent a single sound in English, such as "ch," "sh," and "th."

Comparison to Other Spelling Systems

English orthography is less phonetically consistent than many other languages, leading to irregular spelling patterns; for example, in languages like Spanish, spelling is more closely aligned with pronunciation.
