Difference between phonetics and phonology

Phonetics simply describes the articulatory and acoustic properties of phones (speech
sounds). Phonology studies how sounds interact as a system in a particular language. Stated
another way, phonetics studies which sounds are present in a language; phonology studies how
these sounds combine and how they change in combination, as well as which sounds can
contrast to produce differences in meaning (phonology describes the phones as allophones of
phonemes).
Transcription: in the linguistic sense is the conversion of a representation of language into
another representation of language, usually in the same language but in a different form.
Transliteration: The spelling of words that were originally from a language using a different
alphabet.
Phonetics is a branch of linguistic study that concerns itself with how words sound
not how they look, what they mean, or where theyre from.
Phoneme: any one of the set of smallest units of speech in a language that distinguish one
word from another. In English, the /s/ in sip and the /z/ in zip represent two different phonemes.
Allophone: a sound that is slightly different from another sound, although both sounds belong
to the same phoneme and the difference does not affect meaning. For example, the /l/ at the
beginning of little is different from the /l/ at the end.
