●● Semantics
Answer: Semantics is the study of word and phrase meanings and

●● Prosody
Answer: Prosody is the rhythms and patterns of sounds in spoken

●● Phonology
Answer: refers to the sound system within any oral language--the rules
governing how
speech sounds (phonemes) can be sequenced, combined, and
pronounced to make words.
Every language has its own phonology, with its own consonant and
vowel sounds.
●● Here are a few examples of phonological rules:
Answer: Here are a few examples of phonological rules:
,• Syllables need a vowel sound. This is a nearly universal rule in

• The phoneme /r/ is pronounced differently in languages across the
world; in some languages, /r/ isn't a phoneme at all.
•In English, /s/ can precede some consonant sounds (e.g., It/, /p/, /kJ,
as in star, spoon, skip), but not others (e.g., /sh/, /ch/, /h/).
• The phoneme /s/ cannot precede a consonant sound in Spanish.
• English words do not start with /ng/.
●● Phonology is the study of word and phrase meanings and
relationships.
Answer: F
●● Because it is governed by rules, phonology is systematic and

Answer: t
●● Most languages have 25 consonant sounds and 19 vowel sounds.
Answer: F
●● Phonological rules may be similar across languages or specific to
one.
Answer: T
, ●● Children must interact with adults to learn language structures fully.
Answer: T

word.
Answer: t
