  • Phonetics and Phonology

Sound waves

Phonetics is the study of speech sounds as physical entities (their articulation, acoustic properties, and how they are perceived), and phonology is the study of the organization and function of speech sounds as part of the grammar of a language. The perspectives of these two closely related subfields are combined in laboratory phonology, which seeks to understand the relationship between cognitive and physical aspects of human speech.

Language, Music, and the Brain: A Mysterious Relationship

11 An Integrated View of Phonetics, Phonology, and Prosody

  • Published: July 2013

  • Permissions Icon Permissions

“Phonetics, phonology, and prosody” do not, as might be thought, constitute a set of three separate subsystems of language: linguistic sound systems have both phonetic and phonological aspects, and this applies as much to “prosody” as to other areas of language. The distinction between phonetics and phonology is most often applied to segmental sounds (i.e., sounds that are typically represented by individual letters in alphabetic writing systems), and “prosody” is often used to refer to any nonsegmental phenomena. However, there is little justification for defining prosody as some kind of separate channel that accompanies segmental sounds; prosody so conceived is no more than a loose collection of theoretical leftovers. Moreover, it is easy to identify phonetic and phonological aspects of at least some phenomena that are often thought of as prosodic (e.g., lexical tone). Nevertheless, various properties might motivate talking about a separate subsystem “prosody.” In particular, there are good reasons to think that the essence of prosody is the structuring of the stream of speech into syllables, phrases, and other constituents of various sizes, which may have internal structure, e.g., a head or nucleus of some sort. Rather than looking for specific local acoustic cues that mark a boundary or a stressed syllable—a quest motivated by a linear view of sound structure—we should be looking for cues that lead the perceiver to infer structures in which a boundary or a given stressed syllable are present. Clear analogs in music abound (e.g., harmonic cues to meter mean that a note can be structurally prominent without being louder or longer or otherwise acoustically salient). It is thus likely that our understanding of music should inform research on linguistic prosody rather than the reverse. The existence of abstract hierarchical structure in what is superficially a linear acoustic signal unfolding in time is a key aspect of what music and language share. Much the same is true of signed languages, though of course they are based on a stream of visible movements rather than an acoustic signal. These issues are relevant to the notion of duality of patterning: the building up of meaningful units (e.g., words) out of meaningless ones (e.g., phonemes). This is said to be a central design feature of language and may be absent from music and, for example, birdsong. However, the division between meaningful and meaningless elements is less sharp than it appears, and the fact that words are composed of phonemes is arguably just a special case of the pervasive abstract hierarchical structure of language. If this view can be upheld, the issue of whether music exhibits duality of patterning can be seen as the wrong question, along with the question of whether birdsong is more like phonology or more like syntax. Instead, it suggests that, evolutionarily, music and language are both built on the ability to assemble elements of sound into complex patterns, and that what is unique about human language is that this elaborate combinatoric system incorporates compositional referential semantics.

This study aimed to identify some of the strategies students used when pronouncing unfamiliar words. Questionnaires were handed out to 94 students in the 9th grade in a medium-sized Swedish town. In addition, two teachers and 13 students were interviewed. The results indicate that the students had acquired some basic knowledge about the English sound system from phonetic training in their past education. However, there seemed to be a tendency among the students to use the trial-and-error strategy to a larger extent than using tools such as phonetic transcription in order to figure out the pronunciation of a word. The results also show that the teachers did not teach planned lessons on pronunciation, but instead it was more common that they responded to errors made by students. In conclusion, the results show that the students' knowledge in pronunciation in general was limited. In addition, there seemed to be a connection between the way the students and the teachers approached pronunciation and the student's ability to solve pronunciation issues.
