Phonetics:



Phonetics examines the physical aspects of speech sounds, including their production, transmission, and
perception.

It categorizes sounds based on articulatory features such as place and manner of articulation, allowing
linguists to describe and compare sounds across languages.

Phonology:



Phonology focuses on the abstract, mental representations of sounds in a particular language.

It studies the patterns and rules governing the arrangement of sounds, known as phonological rules,
which determine how sounds interact in a given language.

complex words. Morphological processes include affixation, compounding, and inflection.

Syntax investigates the structure of sentences and how words combine to form grammatically correct
phrases and clauses.

It examines how words and expressions convey meaning, the relationships between different meanings,
