Levels (Brief description) - Phonetics: Phonetics explores how the linguistically relevant sounds in the languages of the world are produced, and how these sounds are perceived using experimental and computational tools.
- Studies language at the level of sounds: articulated by the human speech mechanism & received by auditory mechanism
Phonetics (contd..) - It studies how sounds can be distinguished and characterized by the manner in which they are produced
- It also talks about different symbols (phonetic symbols) used for different sounds / alphabets
Phonology Phonology (contd..) - It studies combination of sounds into organized units of speech, the formation of
syllabus and larger units. - It describes the sound system of a particular language & the combination and distribution of sounds which occur in that language.
Phonology (contd..) - Classification is made on the basis of the concept of
enter into combination with others – rules of Morphology - Morphology: Morphology examines the structure of words and the principles that govern the formation of words.
- Words also made up of a number of units, the word ‘unhappiness’ involves three elements (or morphemes) un-, -happy- and –ness. Morphology deals with how languages add morphemes together.
Morphology (contd..) - It studies the patterns of formation of words by combination of sounds into minimal distinctive units of meaning called morphemes
- Morpheme cannot be broken – it will no longer make sense e.g bat (single morpheme)
- Single morpheme – bat or two morphemes bat + s
