Quiz_________________?
Linguistic -
Answer☑️
The scientific study of the language, how it is put together and how it functions. It looks
at the interplay of sound (phonetic) and meaning (semantics and pragmatics).
Quiz_________________?
Phonetics -
Answer☑️
The Study of human speech sounds
Quiz_________________?
Grammar -
Answer☑️
Influenced by both sound and meaning (Morphology, syntax, and phonology).
Quiz_________________?
Pragmatics -
Answer☑️
The Study of the use of language in context... deals with how listeners arrive at intended
meaning of speaking.
Quiz_________________?
Phonology -
Answer☑️
The Branch of linguistics which studies how sounds are organized, and used in natural
language.
Ex: time [t] & dime [d] Identical words, except beginning sounds.
Quiz_________________?
Allophone -
, 2 Answer☑️
Phones which are phonetically similar but not the same and which are treated as the
same in linguistic communication; or the sound which are phonetically different but do
not make one word different from another in meaning.
Ex: pat, spin, cup
These are sounds that are perceptibly different but do not distinguish words.
P^h - Pat (aspirated)
P- Spin (not aspirated)
P^o- Cup (your lips remain closed; /p/ is unreleased)
Quiz_________________?
Allophone -
Answer☑️
Is a set of multiple spoken sounds (or phones) used to pronounce a single phoneme.
For example, [p^h] (as in pin) and [p] (as in spin) are multiple spoken sounds for the
phoneme /p/ in the English language. Although a phoneme's variation of spoken sounds
are all alternative pronunciations for a phoneme, the specific alternative sound selected
in a given situation is often predictable. Changing the alternative sounds used by native
speakers for a given phoneme in a specific context usually will not change the meaning
of a word but the results may sound non-native or unintelligible. Native speakers of a
given language usually perceive one phoneme in their language as a single distinctive
sound in that language and are "both unaware of and even shocked by "all the different
variations used to pronounce single phonemes.
Quiz_________________?
Morphology -
Answer☑️
The study of the structure of the words and how words are formed.
Quiz_________________?
Morphemes -
Answer☑️
Minimal units of words that have a meaning and cannot be subdivided any further.
There are two types.
Quiz_________________?
Bound Morphemes -
Answer☑️
The smallest unit that has meaning but cannot stand alone. (A morpheme that must be
attached to another morpheme and cannot stand alone.) Affix are often this type of
morpheme. It also includes prefixes (added to the beginning of another morpheme),
suffices (added to the end), infixes (inserted into other morphemes), and circumfixes
(attached to another morpheme at the beginning and end)
Ex: o, as, a, amos, an (the ending of any grammatical change in a verb.
