SECTION A: INTEGRATED CONTENT AND TEXT- BASED QUESTIONS



Question 1

1.1 Phonetics and Phonology



Phonetics is the study of how speech sounds are produced and heard. It focuses on the
physical sounds of speech and how we pronounce them using the mouth, tongue, and
lips.

Phonology, on the other hand, studies how these sounds work in a particular language
and the patterns or rules that guide them (ENG1515/501, Unit 2, p. 26).

Phonetics deals with the physical sounds of speech, while phonology focuses on how
those sounds are used and organised in a language (ENG1515/501, Unit 2, p. 26).

Syntax studies how words are arranged to form sentences correctly in a language

, Syntax explains sentence structure because it focuses on how words are arranged to
form meaningful sentences (ENG1515/501, Unit 2, p. 42).
