QUESTION 1
1.1
FALSE
Language as a system of rules means that each language has its own grammatical
rules, including rules for orthography (spelling). Orthography is therefore part of
the rule system of a language and cannot be excluded.
1.2
FALSE
The study of the physiological and physical production of speech sounds is called
phonetics. Phonology studies how speech sounds function and are organised
within a particular language.
1.3
FALSE
Understanding that the word “blackboard” is formed from two words (black +
board) belongs to the study of morphology, which examines the structure and
formation of words. Syntax deals with how words combine to form sentences.
1.4
FALSE
