    Phonetics And Phonology

    • 6 Pages

    The systematic study of speech and the sounds of language is referred to as phonetics. Traditionally phoneticians rely on careful listening and observation in order to describe speech sounds (Nolan, 2007). Phonetics is often defined with respect to phonology. Both disciplines are concerned with the sound medium of language. Phonology is concerned with the pattering of sounds in a language (and in language in general), and is thus comparable to areas of linguistics such as syntax and morphology which deal with structural elements of language at other levels. Phonetics is more centred on the way those structural elements are "realised" in the world, through movements of the speech organs which create the acoustic signal. Several types of events in the world produce the sensation of sound which includes door slamming, violins,…

    exercises and discussion, I have built a broader knowledge of teaching phonology. Basics like the parts of the mouth were foreign to me. Once I learned them, I was able to apply that knowledge to sound production. This information base allows me to have more confidence in new techniques to teach ELLs.

    Natural Phonology Model The Natural Phonology Model was originated by David Stampe and further expounded upon by David Stampe and Patricia Donegan between the 1960s and 1970s (Bernthal, Bankson & Flipsen, 2013). As an alternative to the generative and structural approaches, this model is based on the premise that speech patterns develop naturally from birth. A universal set of phonological processes are acquired early since we are born with the same system of processes. According to this model,…

    Children” believes that deaf children have a difficult time learning to read due to a reduced phonology activity. (Ormel, Hermans, Knoors, Hendriks, & Verhoeven, 2010).

    (2009) researched articulation and phonology in both languages of typically developing Spanish-English preschool children. The four- and five-year-old participants consisted of ten males and six females. All participants were simultaneous bilinguals, meaning they had spoken both languages since they were born. Both languages of each child were tested using the same assessment given in Goldstein and Washington’s (2001) study. Brice et al. (2009) used the same photo and label-eliciting…

    pronunciation is not less important, since “spoken dialects are usually associated with a distinctive pronunciation, or ACCENT.”(ibid.) For instance, “everybody who speaks with a BBC accent also speaks the Standard English dialect […] [b]ut not everybody who speaks Standard English does so with a BBC accent.” (Trudgill 1999: 3) Thus, accents are often connected with a specific dialect, while dialects generally combine different variations in phonology and are therefore not linked to a particular…
