What is Phonological Knowledge?
We all have instinctual knowledge of the phonemes of our own language
It allows us to produce sounds that form meaningful utterances (even if they are new)
It allows us to recognize and understand a foreign accent
![Page 3: Phonology to be used](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5493a47aac79590e2e8b4923/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
What is phonology?
The study of the structure and systematic patterns of sounds in human language
![Page 4: Phonology to be used](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5493a47aac79590e2e8b4923/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
It allows us to make up new words that “sound right”
It allows us to make up new words that “sound right”
It allows us to add appropriate sounds to make plurals, past tense, etc.
It allows us to know what is and what is not a sound in our own language.

Branches of Phonology
Phonemics: narrow study of sounds
Ex. [ph] in peak, [p] in speak
Phonetics: broad study of sounds
Ex. /p/ in speak and peak

Phonemes
Distinctive or contrastive sound (phonological segment) in the sound system of a language. PHONE A Phonetic Segment Occurring in Language
PHONEME A Segment that differentiates meaning

How to distinguish phonemes?
Place of articulationEx. /p/ VS /t/
pop VS top Manner of articulation
Ex. /b/ VS /m/Bob VS mob
VoicingEx. /s/ VS /z/
Sue VS zoo

An Allophone
An Allophone is: A predictable phonetic variant of a phoneme It is rule-governed An Allophone is Predictable, Nondistinctive
and Redundant
![Page 10: Phonology to be used](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5493a47aac79590e2e8b4923/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Allophone
An alternative pronunciation or a variant of a phoneme.
Ex. /p/ - [ph] pen- [p] spy
/t/ - [th] top- [t] stop- [?] bitten- [D] butter
![Page 11: Phonology to be used](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5493a47aac79590e2e8b4923/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Aspiration in English
Aspiration in English is another example of a predictable, allophonic rule
Occurs with certain consonants at the beginning of a word (if the syllable is stressed)
Presence/Absence of Aspirated Consonant does not change the meaning of the word
![Page 12: Phonology to be used](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5493a47aac79590e2e8b4923/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Minimal Pairs
A pair of words that differ by just one phoneme in the same position and have different
meanings.
Ex. sip VS zip
tip VS dip

Distinctive Features
Phonetic properties or features that distinguish phonemes from one another
![Page 14: Phonology to be used](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5493a47aac79590e2e8b4923/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Distinctive Features of English Consonants
Syllabic Consonantal Sonorant Obstruent Voiced Continuant Nasal
Lateral Distributed Affricate Labial Round Coronal

Phonotactics
Study of the sound and phoneme combinations allowed in a given language.
Phonotactic Constraints: the rules that characterize permissible syllable structures in a language.
![Page 18: Phonology to be used](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5493a47aac79590e2e8b4923/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What is a syllable?
A phonological unit that is composed of one or more phonemes.
![Page 19: Phonology to be used](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061211/5493a47aac79590e2e8b4923/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Examples of Phonotactic Constraints
1) After Consonants like /b/, /g/, /k/, or /p/ another stop is not permitted
2) If a word begins with /l/ or /r/ Every speaker knows the next letter will be a
vowel 3) If word begins with /c&/ or /j&/
The next letter will be a vowel 4) No more than three consonants Allowed
Even this restricted to the following sequence: /s/ + /p, t, k/ + /r, l, w, y/

Morphophonemics
pertaining to the alternation or change of one phoneme to another in a particular environment. For example, the
change of the phoneme /k/ to /s/ before front vowels, which can be seen in the words "electric" and
"electric-ity", is morphophonemicA study of a phonemic difference among allomorphs of
the same morpheme. It describes changes in pronunciation modified by neighboring sounds.
Morphophonemic Rule: the rule that assigns the phonetic form, determined by both morphology and phonology
