1 Discourse Analysis & Phonology Phonology is a branch of linguistics, closely related to phonetics. Phonology is a branch of linguistics, closely related to phonetics.phonetics It studies the manners of organization and usage of the speech sounds in natural languages. It studies the manners of organization and usage of the speech sounds in natural languages. Phonetics deals with the smallest chunks of language, yet it is in connection with other linguistic disciplines like morphology, because adding morphemes may change the meaning of words and their pronunciation, frequently following patterns-eg. work + er = worker. Phonetics deals with the smallest chunks of language, yet it is in connection with other linguistic disciplines like morphology, because adding morphemes may change the meaning of words and their pronunciation, frequently following patterns-eg. work + er = worker.language Phonetics is also related with syntax, as depending on a function of a word in a sentence it can be pronounced differently with a shifted phrasal stress and with changed intonation-eg. Who are you? Who are you! Phonetics is also related with syntax, as depending on a function of a word in a sentence it can be pronounced differently with a shifted phrasal stress and with changed intonation-eg. Who are you? Who are you!syntax Similarly, this branch of linguistics is connected with semantics because of intonation constraints. While phonetics studies the production and perception of the speech sounds (for instance, in the expression 'London photography', phonetics would analyze all the sounds present in the words 'London' and 'photography', describing how they are produced).

2 Teaching has often focused on practicing of phonemes eg. /p/, /b/ ( in isolation) or in words eg. Pump & bump Teaching has often focused on practicing of phonemes eg. /p/, /b/ ( in isolation) or in words eg. Pump & bump Vowels in words are generally affected by the surrounding consonants.
