This document provides an overview of phonetics and phonology. It defines phonetics as the study of speech sounds and their production, classification, and transcription, while phonology examines how sounds are organized and used in languages. It discusses vowels versus consonants, voiced versus voiceless consonants, and how to describe places and manners of articulation. Tables are provided on the English consonant and vowel systems. Descriptions cover how to characterize vowels based on lip shape, position, length, and diphthongs/triphthongs. The nature of syllables, stress, and stress placement in words is also outlined.

3. Introduction
PHONOLOGY - concerned with the range and function of sounds in specific
languages. It examines some of the ways sounds are organized and altered
in accordance with the rules of the English grammar.
PHONETICS -concerned with human sound-making, DESCRIPTION,
CLASSIFICATION and TRANSCRIPTION of the speech sounds of a particular
language (not all the lgs.)
Presentation title 3
4. phonetics = the production of speech
sounds
phonology = the use of speech sounds

5. How to pronounce:
The airflow out from the lungs through the
vocal track and vibrate the vocal cords
Presentation title 5
6. VOWELS &
CONSONANTS
Presentation title 6
1) English has 44 sounds. Divided into 2
types: consonants and vowels
2) The difference between vowels and
consonants is on the obstruction of
the airflow in the vocal track
7. Vowels vs. Consonants
1
Vowels:
Sounds produced without
any obstruction of the airflow
in the vocal track
2
Consonants:
Sounds produced with any
obstruction of the airflow in the
vocal track
Presentation title 7
8. Voice Consonants vs. Voiceless Consonants
1
Voice Consonants:
Sounds produced with the
vibration of the vocal cords
2
Voiceless Consonants:
Sounds produced without the
vibration of the vocal cords, but
the breath flows out from the
mouth

15. How to describe the
Mixed Vowels
Sounds
Presentation title 15
Mixed Vowels are vowels composed of two
or three pure vowels, vowels composed of
two pure vowels called diphthongs and
vowels composed of three pure vowels
called tripthongs.
