Phonology - ✅✅Phonology is the rule system within a language by which phonemes (speech
sounds) can be sequenced, combined, and pronounced to make words.
Semantics - ✅✅Semantics is the study of word and phrase meanings and relationships.
Prosody - ✅✅Prosody is the rhythms and patterns of sounds in spoken language;
expression.
Phonology - ✅✅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: - ✅✅Here are a few examples of
phonological rules:
• Syllables need a vowel sound. This is a nearly universal rule in
all languages.
• 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/.
