Key terms from phonetics and phonology

To delve into the English phonological system , the concepts of and should be distinguished . On the one hand , phonetics is the study of the sounds of human language . In theory , phonetics is an empirical science that focuses on the characteristics of sounds , without taking notice of their functions . It can be approached from three different perspectives : phonetics ( how speech sounds are articulated ) , phonetics ( how speech is transmitted ) , and phonetics ( how it is perceived via the ear ) . In order to better understand this , we must first define the word . This latter is the smallest unit of speech distinguishing one word from another . Additionally , phonemes can have variants , depending on the environment in which they take place . These are called .

Phonology consists of two different areas : and ( sounds existing in one segment of speech ) . If we , as teachers , pay attention to suprasegmental features ( ) , the segmental aspects of a language will improve more naturally . , , and are also linked to natural processes of language acquisition , particularly grammatical structures . By focusing on these aspects , our students will communicate more effectively and comprehensibly due to the stress - timed nature of the English language .

The Speech Mechanism
In line with Roach ( 2009 ) , all speech sounds are the result of our muscles contracting . We have a large and complex set of muscles that can produce changes in the of our vocal tract . Moreover , the muscles of our chest are responsible for the production of numerous speech sounds . Raising awareness of how the system works is key to developing better communication skills . First , we ( we breathe so that air enters our lungs ) . Then , we breathe ( air comes out of our mouth or nostrils ) . After that , is produced ( our vocal folds vibrate ) , and sounds resonate through our body until is produced ( we turn air into speech with the use of our articulators ) . In the last step , our articulators come into play . : These can be divided into : mobile or articulators ( lips , tongue , and soft palate ) and fixed or articulators ( , ridge and palate ) . In fact , the tongue is the most important articulator in charge of the of vowels . The , as well as the other articulators , are the ones responsible for the learning of new . These articulators act like characters from a movie and our students must train them as opposed to passive articulators , which are made of ( belong to the ) and cannot be exercised .

English Vocalic Sounds vs . Consonant Sounds
According to Clarke ( ) , vowels and consonants differ from one another because of the following :

1 . English vowels do go through an obstruction of the . In other words , there is no of air when producing a vowel . However , we do find this when uttering a consonant sound .
2 . Vocalic sounds can create a on their own . This is something that consonants do .
3 . Vowels can be found in the of a word , while consonants are located the .
4 . All are , whereas consonants can be voiced or voiceless .
