PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY

Definitions and Differences

Phonetics

It refers to the ways the sounds are produced and the points at which they are articulated.

Articulatory Features

Disposition or movable organs of the mouth. (Shape of lips, tongue)

The nature of the air stream (from lungs, pulmonic) ingressive or egressive

Speech features such as stress, tone, or word juncture that accompanies or is added over consonants and vowels - syllables

It looks at and tries to establish a system of sound distinctions relevant to a particular language

Differences

Phonetics

Phonology

Lorem ipsum dolor sitIt looks at the behavioural patterns of sounds in actual speech. It also looks at the realisation of those patterns in different environments. It can study on specific language

It belongs to descriptive linguistics. It studies the physiological processes involved in sound production. Does not study one particular language.
