The aim of this chapter is to expose the students to the English sound system in order to improve their spoken English. The chapterintroduces the learners to phonetics and phonology. It presents organs of speech briefly and focuses on the segmental features -English vowel and consonant sounds; their articulation, symbols and classifications. Though the expression of language can either be spoken or written, the spoken form is primary therefore, it forms the basis for the written form. This is evident in the fact that some languages, in spite of their functionality in their respective speech communities, have not developed orthography for their written form. Phonetics and Phonology are the branches of linguistics that study the sound production and sound combinations. Phonetics and Phonology are two different but related concepts. Though there are profound differences between them, there are also some areas of overlapping. Therefore, it is sometimes very difficult for many students to differentiate between the two concepts.

Fundamentals of English Phonetics and Phonology Ayo Osisanwo

Ayo Osisanwo

Fundamentals of English Phonetics and Phonology has been written out of our sincere desire to help the learners of English (especially as second language) to understand better, the definition, formation, description, classification, transcription of not only English sounds or sounds of other languages across the world; but the other terms related to phonetics and phonology. Designed for students of Universities and Colleges of Education, especially students undergoing courses related to Phonetics and Phonology, it is hoped to give both the undergraduate and postgraduate students a basic introduction to the phonetics and phonology of English. Apart from the expressive and comprehensive nature of the text, it has elaborate references of materials consulted, and theses that are also meant for further reading. It also has index for easy referencing. The lucidity of presentation in the text makes it a unique addition to the existing literatures on this aspect of language study. The book is divided into nineteen chapters. Each of the chapters covers different aspects to give a good foundation to the course – phonetics and phonology.

Welcome to my notebook for Phonetics and Phonology III course for the Bachelor of Arts in Teaching English as a Second Language. This notebook does not intend to take the place of the recommended bibliography for the course; It is only meant to be a tool for those who may need it, to order the concepts of the course or simple to check something, in different words from those in the books. It is designed for Spanish native speakers.

comparative study of phonological variation in Tonga varieties: A case of Dhombe and Tonga

Mkhululi Hondo

Abstract The research discusses phonological variations in the CiTonga language as spoken in Binga (Ndola) and Hwange (Dete) area. It also analysed the possible causes of phonological differences in the two varieties. The study contributes towards the documentation of previously marginalised languages. The study also provides some of the phonemic inventory in line with what was gathered through the guideline of the lexical items of the Swadesh list. A qualitative approach was used in gathering and examining the phonemes of the Tonga varieties. The researcher noted that linguistic studies on the Tonga language have been extensively carried out in Zambia. Limited studies on the Tonga language have been carried out in Zimbabwe. The theoretical tools that were employed in this study include the tenets of the family tree model and the comparative method. The family tree model assumes that languages that share a great number of cognates originated from one proto language. The researcher selected some lexical items from the Swadesh list to present and illustrate phonological variations in Dhombe and CiTonga. The Tonga language variations were established and analysed through the use of the comparative and family tree model. An attempt is made to account for the phonological variations. It was found out that language varieties of Tonga vary as a result of segment loss, simplification or assimilation processes such as plosivisation, fricativisation, voicing and velarisation. These phonological processes do not affect both speech communities of the same language that are geographically separated. That is at certain instances either of the two sister varieties of language returns the proto sound while the other submits to phonological changes. The reconstruction of the possible proto Tonga sounds was done through employing certain tenets of the comparative linguistic method.
