This document discusses phonology and phonemics of the mother tongue. It defines phonology as the study of sound patterns in languages. The objectives are to understand how sounds are organized in languages, increase students' ability to identify sounds, and develop phonemic awareness. There are two branches of phonology - segmental which divides speech into discrete segments, and supra-segmental which includes features like length, intonation, tone, and stress. Phonemes are the smallest units of sound that carry meaning. Phonological awareness is the ability to recognize and manipulate spoken parts of words, while phonemic awareness specifically refers to identifying and manipulating individual sounds in words.

1. Phonology and
Phonemics of
Mother Tongue
JANICE B. MADAM-OT

2. OBJECTIVES
a. discover the principles that govern the way
sounds are organized in languages and to
explain the variations that occurs;
b. increase the numbers of sounds the
student can identify in spoken word;
c. helps students develop phonemics
awareness;

3. Phonology
Phono (sounds) logy ( study)
-the study of pattern of sounds in
language across languages

4. 2 Branches of phonology
1. Segmental phonology -
an idea that speech can be divided into discreet
segment.
2. supra-segmental
a. length
b. intonation
-fallin intonation
- rising intonation
c. Tone
d. stress and stress syllables

5. Phonemes
-the smallest units of sounds that carries
meaning.
example; the phoneme /e/ is different from the
phoneme /i/
.
Phonetics
A branches of linguistic that focuses on the
production and classification of speech sound.

6. Phonological awareness
The ability to recognized and manipulate
the spoken parts of sentence and words.
Phonological awareness begins developing
before the beginning of formal schooling
and continues through third grade and
beyond

7. Phonemics awareness
The ability to identify and manipulate
individual sounds [phonems] in spoken
word.
Example; being able to identify that the
word ‘cat’ has three sound [/k/ /a/ /t/]
and being able to change the /k/ sound to
/b/ create a word ‘bat’ is a sign of
phonemic awareness.
