SECTION A: INTEGRATED CONTENT AND TEXT- BASED QUESTIONS
Question 1
1.1 In your own words, explain the term phonology. (2 marks)**
Phonology is the study of the sound systems of languages. It involves examining
how sounds function, how they are organized and patterned, and how they interact
with one another within a particular language. Phonology focuses not just on
individual sounds (phonemes) but also on larger sound units, including syllables and
intonation patterns, and their roles in meaning and communication.

**1.2 How would this term help you distinguish between English spoken in South
Africa and English spoken in Nigeria? (2 marks)**
Phonology allows us to identify differences in pronunciation, intonation, and stress
patterns between English spoken in South Africa and Nigeria. For example, South
African English may exhibit specific vowel shifts and unique consonant sounds not
found in Nigerian English. These phonological features can serve as indicators of
regional accents and can highlight distinct meanings or nuances in communication,
thereby enabling listeners to discern the geographical origin of the speaker.
