    This document provides an introduction to phonetics and phonology. It discusses the pulmonic egressive airstream mechanism of speech production and defines key terms like place and manner of articulation. Segmental features like manner, place and voicing are distinguished from suprasegmental features like stress and intonation. Phonetics is defined as the scientific study of speech sounds, while phonology describes the functional relationships between sounds. Minimal word pairs and complementary distribution are introduced as important concepts in phonology.

    •Pulmonic egressive airstream mechanism :
    The process of articulation/speech production is called pulmonic
    egressive airstream mechanism.

    •Pulmonic:
    The source of the air used in the speech is the lungs and that is why
    they call it pulmonic.

    •Regressive:
    This is the direction of the airflow in the lungs which is out warded.

    • Other languages use different kinds of airstream mechanism e.g.:


    ejective or clicks. This is not really typical for Indo-European
    languages.

    •Place of articulation:
    Speech sounds are classified by where the vocal tract modification takes
    place.

    The manner of articulation:


    •
    Where the modification is carried out.

    • How active the vocal cords are:


    1. Vibrate: voiced sounds
    2. Do not vibrate: voiceless sounds

    • Segmental features of speech:


    • Manner
    • Place
    • Voicing

    • Suprasegmental feature:
    These are words which are situated "above" segments.
    Affects the elements which are higher up in the hierarch of linguistics
    untits (syllables,phrases,sentences).

    •Two most significant supresegmental features:


    1. Stress - never a single consonant or vowel is stressed
    2. Intonation

    •Syllable:
    The combination of consonants and vowels

    New Section 1 Page 1


    The combination of consonants and vowels

    • Phonetics:
    Scientific study of segmental and supresegmental features of sounds.
    Does not only deals with the process of accumulation (speech
    production), accoustics ( way speech travells in the air) and speech
    perception ( referred as auditory phonetics).

    • Phonology:
    • Deals with speech and also sounds.
    • Borrows the term and notion of phonetics.
    • Uses them as a tool to achieve the ultimate objective.
    • Describes the functions of the segments have in speech:
    relationship, various systems and patterns they constitute.

    -The same phonetic object can serve as an independant unit:


    phoneme,as a positional variant (allophone) of a phoneme.

    • Word pair / Minimal pair:


    Pair of words that vary by only a single sound./f/ /v/ ; fan van

    • Complementary distribution:
    Relationship between two phonetically similar segments. It exists when
    one segment occurs in an environment where the other segment never
    occurs (pill spill ; till still ; kill skill)
