UNIT 3 PHONOLOGY

UNIT 3

PHONOLOGY

            In order to start with the development of this chapter we must know what it means. Phonology is the study of sounds features, in these features Phonemes, words stres, entence stress and intonation are included. Taking into acount that a phoneme is the smallest unit of sound. Each phonemic symbol represents only one phoneme. Furthermore, when the symbols are written one after the other to represent a word or group pf words all o them make a phonemic transription.

            Furthermore, phonology has some importants features as the following: Sentence stress, this is the word that which speaker thinks is most important to the meaning of the sentence. Intonation, is another important feature o conected speech. Trough it we can show emotions and attitudes emphasise and function.

       In adition, this course builds on the level 1, in particular as it partains to phonetic and phonology, although morphology and syntax also have some relevance. We will aim to achieve a deeper understanding of the articulatory properties of speech and how these form the phonetic basis of phonology. we will consider the nature of processes in which result in allopony. 

           Finally, we also studied  prosody, including stress, tone of voice and intonation, and syllable structure. Throughout, we will strive to develop an understanding of theoretical approaches wich help us to analyse and represent the phenomena which fall within the domain of phonology. 

           To sum up, I concluded with the argument that It is very important for us as futures English teachers to start teaching our students phonolgy as first, because I think that phonolgy is the base in wich we must work on in order to arouse our students interest of speaking properly. 

In the following link there is a better explanation about what Phonology is, I really hope that this link will be very useful for your understanding.
