  • Welcome, avid learner of linguistics.

  • I take it you don't really get the relationship between phonetics and

  • phonology...

  • Fear no more,

  • help is at hand

  • In this video I'm going to try and shed some light upon these two monsters

  • of linguistics

  • Let us start:

  • What you see here is what linguists commonly refer to as "ground"

  • On this ground there is a house.

  • And who might this house belong to?

  • Now, don't worry

  • this is not a children's educational video; it's all part of the plan.

  • This house belongs to Mister /r/-Phoneme.

  • And what does Mister /r/-Phoneme's house have to do with phonetics and phonology?

  • Well let me explain:

  • For the purpose of this video

  • this house is what linguists call: langue

  • What langue means is the abstract system of language, the blueprint if you want so

  • This house is the blueprint of the phoneme /r/

  • Now here's a tricky question for you:

  • How do we enter houses?

  • Exactly: through doors!

  • Mr /r/-Phoneme's house

  • has three doors.

  • What are the signs on the doors?

  • These are phones! specifically the phones

  • [R], [ɹ] and [ɾ]

  • We know that phones are sounds that we can produce

  • and in English

  • a native speaker of English would be able to recognize all these sounds as

  • the /r/-phoneme

  • So you're free to choose

  • whether you want to stay

  • [bRu:m], [bɹu:m]

  • or [bɾu:m]

  • A native speaker will always understand that you have an urgent wish to sweep

  • the house

  • The counterpart of langue is called parole.

  • Parole is concerned with how we use language

  • As you know,

  • phonology is the study of how sounds distinguish meaning

  • with its smallest meaning distinguishing unit

  • the phoneme

  • Phonetics is the study of sounds that humans can produce

  • and its units

  • are called phones

  • So let us say that phonology refers to the system of langue

  • the abstract system of language whereas phonetics refers to the system of

  • parole

  • the system of language use

  • And now you might have realized already that [R], [ɹ]

  • and [ɾ]

  • are allophones!

  • Allophones of which phoneme?

  • Of course!

  • the /r/-phoneme

  • And this is how it works:

  • We enter the abstract system of phonology, that is

  • producing the sound of important meaning

  • by choosing from a set of sounds that all transport this meaning

  • This is the relationship

  • between phonetics and phonology

  • Houses are phonemes

  • and doors are phones by which we can enter phonemes

  • What a nice metaphor!

  • What?

  • Now you wondering: what the heck is a metaphor?

  • No problem!

  • Help is underway.

  • Just click on the "what-the-heck-is-a -metaphor" button

  • and you will be enlightened

  • the inventor of this great comparison
