    Phonology is the study of the sounds of a language including phonemes, sound changes, and sound patterns. It examines both segmental phonology, which looks at individual sounds and sound combinations like syllables, and supra-segmental phonology, which studies sounds above the segment level such as intonation, stress, and assimilation. Phonology provides insight into how the human mind processes language.
