UNIT 3: PHONOLOGY

PHONOLOGY


  
IIn this chapter I learned about phonology, how important it is in our language to communicate meaning. Phonology is the study of how sound features are organized and used in natural languages. Also, There are some English features that include in the chapter: phoneme (the smallest contrastive linguistics unit of sound system), word stress (words that have more emphasis in the language), sentences stress (show us which parts of our sentences are the most important), and intonations (the level of the voice or a variation of spoken pitch). Then, the book has two aspects that will be essential for us; phonemic symbols (correct pronunciation) and the phonemic chart (show in writing). In to phonology we find others aspects of communication. Each of them plays an important role in the language. Vowels (sounds made without air stopped), consonant (the flow of air is partly blocked), stress etc.  At the moment to teach phonology to students is important to know our native language phonology in order to discriminate between two languages. So, after do that I will use videos or voice recording to help them phonology. These activities help us to discriminate the sound of words. So, students  students can recognize which sounds are.
