Phonetics, phonology – what's the difference?

Bởi ThS. Nguyễn Thị Toàn - Thứ sáu, 2/04/2021, 11:31 AM
 
Traditionally, phoneticsdeals with measurable, physical properties of speech
soundsthemselves, i.e. precisely how the mouth produces certain sounds, and the
characteris-tics of the resulting soundwaves; while phonologyinvestigates the mental
system forrepresenting and processing speech sounds within particular languages. In
recent years,however, the two fields have increasingly overlapped in scope. For our
purposes, the im-portant point is that linguists (whether they're called phoneticians or
phonologists) haveaccumulated some basic observations about how the speech systems of
human language'work,' and these principles have a good deal to do with the physical
properties of thespeech sounds in question.
