LECTURE I - INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION
PHONETICS and PHONOLOGY
TWO SUBDISCIPLINES IN LINGUISTICS WHICH DEAL WITH SOUNDS
1. LINGUISTICS: the scientific study of language and its structure. There are broadly three aspects to the study: language form, language meaning, and language in context.

2. PHONETICS
Provides objective ways of describing and analysing the range of sounds humans use in their languages, that is, it is concerned with the physical properties of sounds, i.e. phones.
Branches of phonetics: articulatory, acoustic and auditory.
a. Articulatory phonetics: identifies precisely which speech organs and muscles are involved in producing the different sounds of the world’s languages;
b. Acoustic phonetics: the study of speech as it travels through the air in the form of sound waves;
c. Auditory phonetics: the study of how sounds are perceived by the hearer’s ears and brain.
3. PHONOLOGY
It studies the way speech sounds are organised into patterns and systems in a particular language.
4. PHONETICS vs. PHONOLOGY
Phonetics: more concrete field of study than phonology; itis concerned with more detailed, physical description of speech sounds.
Phonology: more abstract field of study than phonetics; it is concerned with the functioning of speech sounds as part of a system within a language and the relationships between them.
Phonology tries to answer the following questions:
