words only definitions & notes
  1. speech perception
    the auditory perception (and comprehension) of speech
    Current phonology can interface with disciplines such as psycholinguistics and speech perception, resulting in specific areas like articulatory or laboratory phonology.
  2. phonemics
    the study of the sound system of a given language and the analysis and classification of its phonemes
    The term "phonology" was used in the linguistics of a greater part of the 20th century as a cover term uniting phonemics and phonetics.
  3. phonology
    the study of the sound system of a given language
    Phonology (from Ancient Greek: φωνή, phōnḗ, "voice, sound" and λόγος, lógos, "word, speech, subject of discussion") is, broadly speaking, the subdiscipline of linguistics concerned with "the sounds of language".[1]
  4. psycholinguistics
    the branch of cognitive psychology that studies the psychological basis of linguistic competence and performance
    Current phonology can interface with disciplines such as psycholinguistics and speech perception, resulting in specific areas like articulatory or laboratory phonology.
  5. articulatory
    of or relating to articulation
    When describing the formal area of study, the term typically describes linguistic analysis either beneath the word (e.g., syllable, onset and rhyme, phoneme, articulatory gestures, articulatory feature, mora, etc.) or to units at all levels of language that are thought to structure sound for conveying linguistic meaning.
  6. encode
    represent ordinary language in a secret form
    That is, the systematic use of sound to encode meaning in any spoken human language, or the field of linguistics studying this use.[2]
  7. linguistics
    the scientific study of language
    Phonology (from Ancient Greek: φωνή, phōnḗ, "voice, sound" and λόγος, lógos, "word, speech, subject of discussion") is, broadly speaking, the subdiscipline of linguistics concerned with "the sounds of language".[1]
  8. phonetics
    the branch of acoustics concerned with speech processes
    Whereas phonetics is about the physical production, acoustic transmission and perception of the sounds of speech,[1][3] phonology describes the way sounds function within a given language or across languages to encode meaning.
  9. phoneme
    a distinct speech sound in a particular language
    When describing the formal area of study, the term typically describes linguistic analysis either beneath the word (e.g., syllable, onset and rhyme, phoneme, articulatory gestures, articulatory feature, mora, etc.) or to units at all levels of language that are thought to structure sound for conveying linguistic meaning.
  10. linguistic
    consisting of or related to language
    In more narrow terms, "phonology proper is concerned with the function, behaviour and organization of sounds as linguistic items".[1]
  11. broadly speaking
    without regard to specific details or exceptions
    Phonology (from Ancient Greek: φωνή, phōnḗ, "voice, sound" and λόγος, lógos, "word, speech, subject of discussion") is, broadly speaking, the subdiscipline of linguistics concerned with "the sounds of language".[1]
  12. acoustic
    relating to the study of the physical properties of sound
    Whereas phonetics is about the physical production, acoustic transmission and perception of the sounds of speech,[1][3] phonology describes the way sounds function within a given language or across languages to encode meaning.
  13. syntax
    the study of the rules for forming admissible sentences
    Just as a language has syntax and vocabulary, it also has a phonology in the sense of a sound system.
  14. systematic
    characterized by order and planning
    That is, the systematic use of sound to encode meaning in any spoken human language, or the field of linguistics studying this use.[2]
  15. function
    what something is used for
    In more narrow terms, "phonology proper is concerned with the function, behaviour and organization of sounds as linguistic items".[1]
  16. convey
    transmit or serve as the medium for transmission
    When describing the formal area of study, the term typically describes linguistic analysis either beneath the word (e.g., syllable, onset and rhyme, phoneme, articulatory gestures, articulatory feature, mora, etc.) or to units at all levels of language that are thought to structure sound for conveying linguistic meaning.
