Phone :- The produced real sound, like vowel sound or consonant sound, is called phone. It is a common vowel or consonant sound. |
Phonetics :- It is the fundamental branch of
Linguistics (from Greek word phone = sound/voice). It has its own
three different aspects :
1. Articulatory
Phonetics — It describes how vowels and consonants are produced or
pronounced in different part of mouth and throat.
2. Acoustic
Phonetics — It is the study of how speech sounds are transmitted when they
travel from the mouth of speaker to the ears of the listener. It, thus, acts in
the form of vibrations in the air.
3. Auditory Phonetics — It is the
study of how speech sounds are perceived, it observes the method in which the
mind of the listener decodes the sounds waves into vowels and consonants that
the speaker originally intends.
Phonology :- It is another branch of
Linguistics closely related to phonetics. It is a link between phonetics and
all other Linguistics. It deals the way as speech sounds generally do in a
specific language or languages. It is focused on the way by which languages use
the differences in sounds to explain the differences in meanings in words.
Phoneme :- All principles of phonology admit
that the spoken language can be exhibited in a sequence of sound units, which
are called phoneme. A phoneme is the smallest distinctive unit sound of a
language. It distinguishes a word from another in a given language. It means
that a change in phoneme in a word, breeds another word, that has a different
meaning. In pairs of words (minimal pairs) 'cat' and 'bat', the differentiating
sounds /c/ and /b/ are both phonemes. Phoneme is an abstract term and it is
specific for a specific language.
