A Piece of Linguistics : Phonology

Yuhuuuuu...
Alhamdulillah, Allah masih give me kesempatan to post this.
Today, this post will explain about one of linguistics branches called Phonology.
Here we go...

          Phonology is the branch of linguistics concerned with the study of speech sounds with reference to their distribution and patterning. A linguist who specializes in phonology is known as a phonologist.
The aim of phonology is to discover the principles that govern the way sounds are organized in languages and to explain the variations that occur.  When we talk about the 'sound system' of English, we are referring to the number of phonemes which are used in a language and to how they are organized.

Apa perbedaan antara Phonology dengan Phonetics ?

Kalau Phonetics, ilmu yang menyelidiki bagaimana bunyi dihasilkan oleh mulut, nasal (bunyi sengau), tenggorokan, dan lain sebagainya. Jadi lebih ke mempelajari audible sounds, dan tidak ada hubungannya dengan the meaning of the sounds produced (makna dari bunyi yang dihasilkan).
Kalau Phonology, ilmu yang mempelajari baik bunyi maupun maknanya. Jadi Phonology ini 'menjelajah' perbedaan ketika suatu bunyi dihasilkan dan bagaimana bila bunyi tersebut dihasilkan sedikit berbeda maka akan mengubah makna dari bunyi tersebut.

Ø Phoneme
Phoneme is one of a small set of speech sounds that are distinguished by the speakers of a particular language and it make a difference to meaning.. The term is usually restricted to vowels and consonants.  
For example in English : /m/ of mat and the /b/ of  bat.

Ø Allophones
An Allophone is one of several similar speech sounds (phones) that belong to the same phoneme.
For example in English :
 [ph] as in pin and [p] as in spin are allophones for the phoneme /p/ in the English language because they cannot distinguish words. They are different, the first isaspirated and the second is unaspirated (plain).

The differentiate between a phoneme and allophones :

a.      The phoneme placed in slant brackets (/ /).
b.      The allophones placed in square brackets ([ ]).

Okay, that's all from me. I'm sorry if there is a mistake. Please give your comments below. See you on the next postingan. Thankyou, Assalamu'alaikum wr. wb.
