The document summarizes key concepts in phonetics and phonology that language students must understand. It defines phonetics as the study of how humans produce and perceive sounds, phonology as how languages organize sounds, and a phoneme as the smallest unit of sound that can differentiate words. An allophone is a variant pronunciation of a phoneme, an allomorph is a variant form of a morpheme, and a grapheme is the smallest unit in a writing system.

In the power point I learned about the basic concepts of
phonetics and phonology since each language student must
know their meanings and thus apply it in learning.
I will explain it in the following table.
Phonetics is a linguistics specialty that studies how humans
generate and perceive sounds or, in the case of sign languages, the equal points of signs.
Phonology is a linguistics specialty that studies how
languages or dialects systematically organize their sounds (or signs, in sign languages). The concept also refers to the noise system of any particular language diversity.
The phoneme is a unit of noise that can differentiate one word
from another in a given language. An allophone is a group of various sounds likely to be spoken, or telephones, or signs used to pronounce a single phoneme in a particular language.
An allomorph allomorph is a variant phonetic form of a
morpheme, or a unit of meaning that changes in noise and spelling without changing meaning. The allomorphic concept explains the execution of phonological variations for a specific morpheme Grapheme is th e smallest usable unit in a writing system.
