Phonology is the study of sound systems in languages. It has four branches: segmental phonology which analyzes speech into discrete segments like phonemes; suprasegmental phonology which analyzes features over multiple segments like intonation and stress; diachronic phonology which studies sound patterns through a language's history; and synchronic phonology which studies sound patterns regardless of historical change. Phonology also examines phones which are minimal speech units, phonemes which are distinctive minimal units, and allophones which are variants of phonemes that occur in different phonetic environments. A syllable contains a sonority peak like a vowel with optional onset and coda consonants. Syllable structure and distinctive features are also
1/The word “ Phone” means sound and “tics” means scientific or systematic study of something. So we can say that Phonetics means scientific or systematic study of human speech sounds.
Phonetics is general study of all human speech sounds and how they are produced, transmitted and received.
2/Phonology is the study of the sound system of particulars human languages, include dialects and other language varieties.
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/

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

2. What is phonology?
Phonology is the study of the sound systems of
languages.
Phonology is the aspects of language related to the
distinctive features of the representation and
reception of sounds of language.
Phonology is the study of the sound system of a given
language and the analysis and classification of its
phonemes.
Phonology is the study of how sounds are organized
and used in natural languages.
Phonology is the study of the way sounds function in
languages, including phonemes, syllable structure,
stress, accent, intonation, and which sounds are
distinctive units within a language; The way sounds
function within a given language.
3. Branches of phonology
There are four branches :-
1. Segmental phonology :- It analyses speech into
discrete segments, such as phonemes.
2. Supra- segmental phonology :- It analyses those
features which extend over more than one segment
such as intonation , stress.
3. Diachonic phonology :- It studies the patterns of
sound system through the history of language.
4. Synchronic phonology :- It studies the patterns of
sound regardless of the process of historical change.
4. Difine phone , phoneme , allophone
Phone :- 1. Phone is the smallest , perceptible , discrete
segment of sound in the steam of speech.
OR
Phone is the minimal unit of speech.
2. Phones are the physical realization of phonemes.
3. The speech is segmented and each of the segment
is called phone.
4. Phone are grouped into phonemes through
phonemic analysis.
5. Phone is enclosed within square bracket i.e [ p ]
Phoneme :- 1. Phoneme is the smallest , distinctive and
segmental unit of sound.
OR
Phoneme is the minimal distinctive unit in the
sound system of a language .
2. Phoneme is enclosed within slants i.e / p /
5. 3. Phonemes are useful to analyze language at the
phonological level.
4. Phonemes /p/ and /b/ are similar in place of
articulation and manner of articulation but differ
in voicing. So they are two phonemes.
Allophone : - Allophone is a varient of a phoneme. The
allophone are very similar to each other ; they do not
change the mining of a woard and they don’t occur in
the same phonetic environnment.
for example :- Syllable initial as opposed to syllable
final.
All allophones are phones but all phones are not
allophones.
6. Syllable
Definition
A syllable is a unit of sound composed of :-
1. a central peak of sonority (usually a vowel), and
2. the consonants that cluster around this central peak.
or
The syllable is a basic unit of speech studied on both the
phonetic and phonological levels of analysis.
or
A syllable is a unit of organization for a sequence of
speech sounds. For example, the word water is
composed of two syllables: wa and ter. A syllable is
typically made up of a syllable nuclear (most often a
vowel) with optional initial and final margins (typically,
7. Types of Syllables
There are six types of syllables:
1. A closed syllable ends in a consonant. The vowel has a
short vowel sound, as in the word bat.
2. An open syllable ends in a vowel. The vowel has a long
vowel sound, as in the first syllable of apron.
3. A vowel-consonant-e syllable is typically found at the end
of a word. The final e is silent and makes the next vowel
before it long, as in the word name.
4. A vowel team syllable has two vowels next to each other
that together say a new sound, as in the word south.
5. A consonant-le syllable is found in words like handle,
puzzle, and middle.
6. An r-controlled syllable contains a vowel followed by the
letter r. The r controls the vowel and changes the way it is
pronounced, as in the word car.
8. Syllable structure
Syllable structure, which is the combination of allowable
segments and typical sound sequences, is language
specific.
Parts Description Optionality
Onset Initial segment of a syllable Optional
Rhyme Core of a syllable, consisting of a
nucleus and coda (see below)
Obligatory
– Nucleus Central segment of a syllable Obligatory
– Coda Closing segment of a syllable Optional
9.
10. Distinctive feature
Distinctive feature is the most basic unit of
phonological structure that may be analyzed in
phonological theory.
Distinctive features are grouped into categories
according to the natural classes of segments they
describe:-
1. Major Class Features: -The features that represent the
major classes of sounds.
[+/- consonantal]
[+/- sonorant]
[+/- syllabic]
11. 2. Laryngeal Features: -The features that specify the
glottal states of sounds.
[+/- voice]
[+/- spread glottis]
[+/- constricted glottis]
3. Manner Features: -The features that specify the
manner of articulation.
[+/- continuant]
[+/- nasal]
[+/- strident]
[+/- lateral]
[+/- delayed release]
12. 4. Place Features: -The features that specify the place of
articulation.
[LABIAL] Labial segments are articulated with the lips.
a. [+/- round]
[CORONAL] Coronal sounds are articulated with the tip or
blade of the tongue.
a. [+/- anterior]
b. [+/- distributed]
[DORSAL] Dorsal sounds are articulated by raising the
dorsum of the tongue. All vowels are dorsal sounds.
a. [+/- high] [+high]
b. [+/- low] [+low]
c. [+/- back] [+back]
d. [+/- tense]
[RADICAL] Radical sounds are articulated with the root of the
tongue.
