Study Notes

Phonetics

Phonetics is the study of speech sounds from three perspectives:
- Production: how sounds are created in the human vocal tract.
- Acoustics: the study of sound waves emitted through the air during speech.
- Perception: how the brain processes sound waves to decipher spoken language.

Phonology

Phonology investigates the systematic rules speakers use to understand and manipulate speech sounds in their language.
It relies on phonetic data to understand these rules.
Phonological rules are built upon a foundation of phonetics.
Studying phonetics first is essential for understanding phonology.
