Synthetic Language

Inflections are the primary indicators of grammatical relationships (Old English)

Analytic Language

Word order and function words are the primary indicators of grammatical relationships (Modern English)

Phonology

The study of sound in a language

Morphology

The study of how a language is formed and the formation of words

Syntax

The arrangement of words in a sentence

Morpheme (Bound and free)

One unit of sound in a language (bound is usually an affix and free is an individual word)

Derivation

Creation of new words by adding affixes to roots

Inflection

Affix expressing grammatical categories of the word

Compounding

The combination of two or more roots to create a new word

Periphrastic construction

Use of function words instead of inflection endings to express grammatical meaning

Prescriptive/ descriptive grammar

Dictates/ forbids speaking as a way of policing what is right and wrong

Phoneme

Distinctive sound of a language

Phonetic environment

Conditions which dictate a change in language

Voicing (Voiced vs. voiceless)

Voiced--> produced when there is vibration in the vocal chords


Voiceless--> produced when there is no vibration in the vocal chords

Consonant

Produced with a certain restriction of airflow, usually between vowels

Orality

Sound articulated with the nasal tract closed and the oral tract open

Nasality

Sound articulated with the nasal tract open and the oral tract closed

Bilabial

Sound produced with the upper and lower lip coming together

Labiodental

Sound produced with the lower lip to the upper teeth

Interdental

Sound produced with the tongue between the upper and lower teeth

Alveolar

Tip of the tongue to the alveolar ridge

Alveo-palatal

Sound produced by the tip of the tongue just behind the alveolar ridge

Palatal

Sound produced by bringing the tongue to the hard palate at the roof of the mouth

Velar

Sound produced by bringing the tongue to the soft palate

Glottal

Sound created in the back of the throat

Stop

Consonant sound sound blocking the air flow in the oral and nasal tract

Nasal

Consonant sound produced by closing the oral tract but opening the nasal tract

Fricative

Sound produced by creating friction between the articulators

Affricate

Complete block of air flow followed by a fricative sound

Approximate

Bringing the articulators close but not constricting air flow

Liquids

Sub class of approximates (L and r)

Glides

Sub class of approximates, J and W, tongue moves from one place in the mouth to another

Dipthongs

Tongue moves from either a higher point in the mouth to a lower part (or vice versa) to create a vowel sound

Stress accent

Particular volume given to a specific part of a syllable in a word

Intonation

Speech stresses when producing certain sounds in speech patterns, usually distinguishes sentence types

Phonographic

Characteristic of the type of the sound of a language, could be in a particular environment

Syllabic alphabet

Alphabet consisting of only one syllable per letter

Sound changes (conditioned and unconditioned)

The phonetic environment either affects the sound changes of a language (conditioned) or it doesn't (unconditioned)

Assimilation

Sound becomes similar or identical to a particular word

Dissimilation

Sound becomes different to a particular word

Metathesis

Reversal or reordering of two sounds

Dipthongization/ Monophthongization

Creation of diphtong from a monopthong or vice versa

Lengethning/ shortening

Quantitative change

Labilization

Rounding of the lips to change the sound (qualitative)

velarization

Sound produced in the back region of the mouth

Palatalization

Articulation more in the palatal region of the mouth

Fricativation

Stop consonant is changed to a fricative

Rhotacism

Consonant is changed usually from an s into an r

Lenition

Weakening of a consonant sound b/s vowels

Vocalization

Consonant becomes a vowel or semi-vowel (glide)

Devoicing

Loss of vibration in the vocal chords

Proto Indo European

Mother language of all Indo- European languages

Proto Language

Any language that is the father of another group of languages, usually unchanged

Proto-Germanic

Divided into East, West (High and Low) and South

Grimm's law

b- p- f


d- t- theta


g-k- h (x when not initial)

Verner's Law

The set of exceptions to Grimm's law involving position of accent in PIE

Drag chain/ Push chain
