This document introduces the topics of phonology. It defines phonology as the study of sound patterns in a language and how sounds combine and change, distinguishing one word from another. Phonology analyzes which sounds are significant and how native speakers interpret them. It also defines phonemes as units of sound that differentiate words, and allophones as variable pronunciations of phonemes. The key difference between phonology and phonetics is that phonology learns how sounds can change meaning in a language, while phonetics simply describes the physical properties of speech sounds.

What is Phonology? Phonology is the basis for further work in morphology, syntax, discourse, and orthography design
Phonology used for analyzes the sound
patterns of a particular language by determining sounds are significant, and explaining how these sounds are interpreted by the native speaker. What is Phobology? Phonemes is one of the units of sound that distinguish one word from another in a particular language. For example, in most • Phonology studies how these sounds combine and how they dialects of English, the sound change in combination, as well as which patterns sounds /sɪn/ (sin) can(sing) and /sɪŋ/ contrast to Allophones produce is one of a set differences in meaning are(phonology two separate describes words the phones asofallophones multiple possible spoken of phonemes). distinguished by the substitution sounds. of one phoneme, /n/, for another phoneme, /ŋ/.
