Different between Phonetics and Phonology

 Let's know what really phonetics and phonology is.... 



Phonetics Definition:

Phonetics is a branch of science. It deals with the study oflanguage in one aspect. It deals

with sounds. It deals with the production and articulation of speech sounds. The term phonetics is

derived from the Greek words “phone” which means “voice” and “phoneo” which means “I Speak”.

In learning and teaching of a foreign language, knowledge of phonetics is very essential for the

learner as well as the teacher.






Phonology Definition:

Phonology is derived from the Greek word “phone” which means voice, and “logos” which

means study. Phonology deals with the study of sounds. Whereas phonetics deals with sound in

general, phonology deals with the sounds of a particular language.

Language Definition:

Language is made up of sounds, but then these sounds are not chosen atrandom or in a

haphazard manner. It is an organization of sounds. It is an organized pattern. But the pattern or

sequence of sounds in one language need not necessarily mean the same thing in another language.

Every language has its own soundsystem and sound patterning.

The organs of speech

What are active and Passive Articulators?

Of the organs of speech some are mobile and flexible (eg. Tongue, lips). They are called active

articulators. Some others do not move but remain rather stationary (eg. Hard palate, teeth ridge

etc.). They are called passive articulators. It must be noted that when one of the active articulators

touches the passive articulator, sound is produced. The place of such a contact is called place of

articulation or point of articulation.

Describe the organs of speech with suitable diagrams.

The speech sounds are produced with the help of certain organs like tongue, the nose, the

lips, the teeth etc. Since these organs are helpful in producing speech sounds they are called the organs of speech.
