Phonology Mid

Phonology is the study of the sound system of languages

Phonology deals with the systems and the patterns of sound that occur in certain types of languages. Phonology is the study of the abstract side of the sounds of the language, Phonetics studies the actual realizations

Phonetics is the scientific study of the sounds of human language, includes three main branches: Articulatory Phonetics, Acoustic Phonetics, Auditory Phonetics. Phonology deals with the systems and the patterns of sound that occur in certain types of languages.

Articulatory Phonetics studies how speech sounds are produced by speech organs. Acoustic Phonetics is interested in the study of the physics of speech sound. Auditory Phonetics deals with the study of how sounds are perceived by the ear and the brain.

Phonemics is the study speech sound to finding out the significant units of sounds. While the significant or (basic) units of sounds distinguish utterances is called Phonemes. A phoneme is a speech sound that helps us construct meaning

Vowel is a voiced sound (resonant) and Vowel sounds are principally produced by the vibration of the vocal chords

Three variables of consonant:
• voicing – the activity of causing the vocal cords to vibrate or not
• where the place of obstruction or point of articulation happens,
• how the air is obstructed by the articulators or how the articulation happens - how the airflow is controlled

The speech organs that are used to obstruct the out-going air in the production of speech sounds are called articulators. Distinguished by movable which include the lips, the tongue, the uvula, the vocal cords and unmovable include the teeth, the teeth ridge, and the hard palate.

The speech organs that are situated along the upper margin of the mouth are the upper lip, the upper teeth, the teeth ridge the hard palate, the soft palate and the uvula. The teeth ridge is the part of the roof of the mouth exactly behind the upper teeth, and is convex (cembung) in shape facing the tongue. The hard palate is the bony (tulang) part of the roof of the mouth behind the teeth ridge, and is concave (cekung) in shape facing the tongue. The soft palate is the remaining fleshy part of the roof of the mouth behind the hard, whose called the uvula.

The speech organs along the lower margin of the mouth include the lower lip, the lower teeth, and the tongue. The tongue is divided into: the tip or apex (ujung), the blade, the front and the back of the tongue, the central part of the tongue includes a small part of the front and the back of the tongue
