Phonology - ANSWER: Phonology is the rule system within a language by which
phonemes (speech sounds) can be sequenced, combined, and pronounced to make
words.
Semantics - ANSWER: Semantics is the study of word and phrase meanings and
relationships.
Prosody - ANSWER: Prosody is the rhythms and patterns of sounds in spoken
language; expression.
Phonology - ANSWER: refers to the sound system within any oral language--the rules
governing how
speech sounds (phonemes) can be sequenced, combined, and pronounced to make
words.
Every language has its own phonology, with its own consonant and vowel sounds.
Here are a few examples of phonological rules: - ANSWER: Here are a few examples
of phonological rules:
• Syllables need a vowel sound. This is a nearly universal rule in
all languages.
• The phoneme /r/ is pronounced differently in languages across the
world; in some languages, /r/ isn't a phoneme at all.
•In English, /s/ can precede some consonant sounds (e.g., It/, /p/, /kJ,
as in star, spoon, skip), but not others (e.g., /sh/, /ch/, /h/).
• The phoneme /s/ cannot precede a consonant sound in Spanish.
• English words do not start with /ng/.
Phonology is the study of word and phrase meanings and relationships. - ANSWER: F
Because it is governed by rules, phonology is systematic and predictable. - ANSWER:
t

- ANSWER: (a. /m/ and /b/)
(c. /d/ and /n/)
Which sound can occur only after a vowel sound? - ANSWER: NG
