Comparative phonetics
investigates vowel and consonant phonemes, their
phonetic changes and others in thecomparative aspect of several genetically related
and non-related languages.
Phonology
(sometimes called phonemics or phonematics)
is the study of
how sounds are used in languages to convey meaning. The term of phonology
(Greek phone - sound, logos – science) appeared in linguistics in the necessity of
differentiating functional (linguistic) sides of speech sounds from the
physiological-acoustic (physic) sides in the end of XIX century. It studies the rules
governing
the structure, distribution, and sequencing of speech sounds and the
shape of syllables. It deals with the sounds systems
of a language by treating
phoneme as the point of departure.
With another word, phonetics deals with sounds and phonology deals
with phonemes. Or else phonology deals with language sounds and phonetics deals
with human speech sounds.
Phonetics and phonology have two levels:
segmental
and
suprasegmental
.
Segmental phonology
studies phonemes realized in avarious speech sound. So it
may be called phonemics.
