Phonetics is the branch of linguistics that studies the sounds of speech, their production and representation through writing. Phonology relies on this phonetic information but focuses on how sound patterns in speech and communication create meaning for a particular language by determining which sounds are significant for native speakers. Phonology also studies how sounds and meaning are transmitted between languages through comparative linguistic analysis of cognates.
