1.1 Phonology refers to the study of the sound systems of a language, including how
sounds are organized and used. It involves the patterns of sounds in a language, the
rules governing their pronunciation, and how these sounds convey meaning. (2 marks)
1.2 Phonology helps distinguish between English spoken in South Africa and Nigeria
because each country has its own unique accent, pronunciation patterns, and intonation
influenced by local languages. For example, the way vowel sounds are produced or
how specific consonants are pronounced can vary between South African English and
Nigerian English, leading to different speech patterns. (2 marks)
