SECTION A: INTEGRATED CONTENT AND TEXT- BASED QUESTIONSQuestion 1
In this module, you were introduced to critical literacy as a skill for understanding language
and its various components and features. Based on this statement, answer the following
questions:
1.1 In your own words, explain the term phonology.
Phonology is the study of sounds in a language. It looks at how we use sounds to make
words and how different sounds can change meaning. For example, it studies things like how
we say letters, what makes one sound different from another, and how we put sounds
together to form words.
1.2 How does phonology help us see differences between English in South Africa and
Nigeria?
Phonology helps us see the differences in how English is spoken in South Africa and Nigeria
by looking at the sounds people make. For example:
The way people say vowel sounds (like the letters A, E, I, O, U) can be different. In South
Africa, the word "bat" may sound different than in Nigeria.
Intonation: This means how your voice goes up and down. In South Africa, people might
sound like their voice is rising at the end of a sentence, while in Nigeria, the voice might go up
and down more.
Some consonants (like B, D, T) might be said differently. In Nigeria, the "th" sound in "think"
might be pronounced like a "t" or "d."
When listening to how people say words, we can tell which country they are from.
