Opis

Phonology is the study of the properties of sound systems, the principles that govern the ways in which speakers of different languages organise speech sounds to express meanings. It is an old discipline, reaching back to ancient India, and a thriving ever-changing part of the modern science of linguistics, investigating language facts, posing new questions, formulating new ways of analysing, and spawning different theoretical viewpoints. Keeping up with developments in the field is difficult because output is great and many essays appear in publications of limited circulation.
