Phonetics is the study of speech sounds and their production. It examines the actual nature of sounds, while phonology focuses on sound systems and linguistic units like phonemes and distinctive features. A diphthong is a vowel sound made up of two adjacent vowel sounds within one syllable, such as the sounds in "eye", "oy", and "air".

Phonetics vs phonology
Phonetics is the study of speech sounds and their production, while phonology examines how sounds are organized and pattern in a language. Phonetics looks at the physical aspects of sounds, and phonology considers their functional relationships. Some key differences are that phonetics is described as the physics of sound, focusing on theories of production and perception. Phonology is the psychology of sound, concerned with rules governing sound combinations and distributions in a language. Both are important areas of linguistics that are closely related despite these differences.
Branches of phonetics
There are several branches of phonetics including articulatory, acoustic, auditory, functional, general, descriptive, historical, special, comparative, practical, and theoretical phonetics. Articulatory phonetics studies how speech sounds are produced. Acoustic phonetics examines the physical properties of sounds. Auditory phonetics investigates how people perceive speech sounds. Functional and comparative phonetics analyze the linguistic and correlational aspects of sounds between languages. Practical phonetics considers how sounds relate to meaning while theoretical phonetics focuses on how phonetic units function in language.
Allophone and phoneme. persentation
Phonemes are the basic sound units of a language. Each phoneme comprises a set of allophones, which are the phonetic variants of that phoneme. Allophones are predictable realizations of a phoneme that depend on the linguistic environment, whereas phonemes are non-predictable and significant for meaning. Different languages can organize the same sounds differently - for example, English has aspirated and unaspirated /p/ phonemes, while Mandarin treats these as different phonemes. The distribution and organization of phonemes versus their allophonic variants distinguishes languages.

It is a common question as to why do the new learners of English need to study Phonetics. The discussion to answer this question dates back to the late 19th century and sufficient evidence has been provided to prove that the need of studying Phonetics by the learners of English as Second Language is synonymous to acquiring communicative competence in the target language. This small presentation reviews the need and importance of Phonetics in Learning English as Second Language.

Phonology vs phonetics
Phonology is the study of how sounds are organized and used in languages, analyzing sound patterns and determining which sounds are significant. It examines the phonological system of a language, including sound inventories and interaction rules. Phonetics is the study of human speech sounds, describing their articulatory and acoustic properties, and analyzes sound production regardless of language. While phonology studies how sounds combine and change meaning, phonetics simply describes speech sound properties.

Sounds, spelling and symbols
This document discusses communication through sound and language. It covers the following key points:
1. Phonetics is the study of speech sounds and their production, while phonology studies how sounds are organized in language.
2. Variation exists both between and within languages. Accents can diverge geographically and be used to indicate social affiliation.
3. The International Phonetic Alphabet provides a standardized way to represent speech sounds and allows accurate production, writing, and recognition across languages. However, English spelling presents ambiguities with many sounds per spelling and spellings per sound.
Intro.phonetics
The document provides an overview of phonetics and phonology. It defines key terms like phone, speech, language, linguistics, phonetics, and phonology. Phonetics is concerned with the concrete sounds of language, while phonology focuses on how sounds function systematically in a language. The document also discusses the physiology of pronunciation, including the organs of speech and their roles in sound production. It introduces concepts like phonemes, allophones, and minimal pairs to distinguish meaningful sounds.
Phonetics and phonology pp1
Phonetics is the study of speech sounds and their production, transmission, and perception. It examines how sounds are made, their physical properties, and how they are perceived. Phonology studies the sound systems within languages and the abstract patterns and relationships between sounds. The main difference is that phonetics looks at actual speech sounds, while phonology examines the functional and contrastive sound units (phonemes) in a language and how they are organized. The aim of studying phonology is to understand the phoneme inventory of a language and how phonemes pattern and relate to each other through phonological processes.
Phonemes & Consonant Allophones
The phoneme can be defined as "the smallest contrastive linguistic unit which may bring about a change of meaning" (Gimson, A.C. (2008), Cruttenden, A., ed., The Pronunciation of English (7 ed.)). This definition can be clarified by a practice called minimal pair which is listing pairs of words which are different in meaning and phonologically distinct only in one phonological element.
Minimal pair can be illustrated in the following examples:
The words "pin" /pɪn/ and "pan" /pæn/ are different only in their middle sounds i.e. /ɪ/ & /æ/. Therefore the sounds /ɪ/ & /æ/ are considered to be different phonemes.
The words "pill" /pɪl/ and "bill" /bɪl/ are different only in their initial sounds i.e. /p/ & /b/. Therefore the sounds /p/ & /b/ are considered to be different phonemes.
An allophone, on the other hand, is one of a set of multiple possible spoken sounds (or phones) used to pronounce a single phoneme. It can be considered to be variations of a phoneme and doesn't change the meaning of a word.
e.g. the phoneme /p/ in the word "pill" /pɪl/ can be aspirated [pʰɪl ]. So the aspirated [pʰ] is considered to be the allophone of the phoneme /p/

Introduction to Phonetics & Phonology
This document provides an introduction to phonetics and phonology. It discusses the classification of speech sounds into vowels and consonants. Vowels are sounds made with an unobstructed airflow through the oral cavity, while consonants involve some obstruction. Consonants are further classified based on their manner of articulation, such as stops, fricatives, and nasals, and their place of articulation, such as bilabial, alveolar, and velar. Vowels are classified based on the height, backness, and roundedness of the tongue. Phonetic transcription represents speech sounds with symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet in order to provide a universal system for writing sounds across

Phonetics & phonology
Phonetics is the study of speech sounds, including how they are produced (articulatory phonetics), transmitted (acoustic phonetics), and perceived (auditory phonetics). Phonology examines how speech sounds are organized and relate to one another based on systems of phonemes and allophones according to phonological rules and processes such as assimilation, dissimilation, insertion, and deletion. Key distinctions between consonants and vowels include place and manner of articulation for consonants versus tongue placement, height, lip rounding, and tenseness for vowels.

Phonetics and Phonology - Diphthongs and Monophthongs - Presentation Slide - ...
Phonetics is the scientific study of human speech sounds, how they are produced, transmitted, and received. It has three branches: articulatory phonetics studies sound production, acoustic phonetics sound transmission, and auditory phonetics sound reception. Phonology studies how sounds are organized into a language's system. It has two branches: segmental phonology examines discrete sound units, and suprasegmental phonology examines features like stress and intonation. Phonetics deals with sounds in general, while phonology deals specifically with how sounds are used in a given language. Diphthongs are combinations of two vowel sounds in one syllable, while monophthongs are single consistent vowel sounds.
Phonetics Phonology
This document provides an overview of phonetics and phonology in the English language. It defines phonetics as the study of speech sounds and describes the key areas of articulatory, acoustic, and auditory phonetics. Consonants and vowels are examined in terms of their place and manner of articulation. Suprasegmentals like stress, tone, length, and intonation are also discussed. Phonology is defined as how speech sounds are organized and relate to one another. Common phonological rules in English like aspiration, flapping, assimilation, and deletion are presented. The document concludes with tips and resources for teaching English pronunciation.
The difference between phonology and phonetics
Phonetics is the study of speech sounds in general, while phonology studies the speech sounds of a particular language. Phonology covers segmental phonemes like vowels, diphthongs, triphthongs, and consonants, as well as suprasegmental phonemes involving stress, length, tones, and intonation. A phoneme is the smallest unit of sound that distinguishes meaning, while a morpheme is the smallest meaningful unit of language that can be free-standing or bound. Speech sounds are produced using various speech organs from the lungs through the vocal cords and mouth or nose.
