Phonetics deals with the physical description of sounds, while phonology is all about description of
sound interrelation and function. Phonetics looks into the speech sounds of a language in a
generalized and idealized manner. The main difference between phonetics and phonology is that
phonetics is the study of speech sounds whereas phonology is the study of sounds, especially
different patterns of sounds in different languages¹².
Phonetics has been derived from the Greek word phone meaning sound/voice. It is one
of the important branches of linguistics which deals with the study of speech sounds. It
covers the domain of speech production and its transmission. It also covers the reception
aspect of speech. The sounds made by us when we talk are studied through different
branches of Phonetics like Acoustic Phonetics, Auditory Phonetics and Articulatory
Phonetics.
and patterning related to speech. It is aimed to determine the sound patterns of all the
languages. Phonologists may look into questions like – why there is difference in the
plurals of cat and dog; the former ends with an s sound, whereas the later ends with the
z sound.
Phonetics deals with physical description of sounds, whereas phonology is all about
description of sound interrelation and function. A simple way to understand both is to
consider Phonetics as the physics of sound and Phonology as the psychology of sound.
Phonetics looks into the speech sounds of a language in a generalized and idealized
manner. On the other hand, Phonology looks into the functional aspect of speech sounds
in that language. Phonetics and Phonology are closely related to each other, and
therefore it is often recommended not to divide them on the basis of strict rules or
points.

Mensaje recibido. The study of language is divided into a number of subfields. Here are
some examples of linguistic parts: - Phonetics - the study of speech sounds in their physical
aspects. - Phonology - the study of speech sounds in their cognitive aspects. - Morphology
- the study of the formation of words. - Syntax - the study of the formation of sentences. -
Semantics - the study of meaning. - Pragmatics - the study of language use. These subfields
are used to analyze every aspect of language, as well as the methods for studying and
modeling them .
