ELNG-Learning Task-Assessment 1.3

The document compares and contrasts several linguistic terms, providing definitions and examples for each. It defines phonetics as the study of how speech sounds are produced physically, while phonology is the patterns of sounds in a language. Morphology is defined as the study of word structure, looking at prefixes, roots, and suffixes. Syntax is the structure of sentences. Semantics concerns word meaning, and pragmatics concerns meaning in context. The document then provides a short assessment asking the reader to identify statements as true or false.

Learning Task/Activities 1.3

Instruction: Compare and contrast the following terms. Give examples to clarify
things.

1. Phonetics vs. Phonology


Phonetic -> specifically the study of how speech sounds are produced, what their
physical properties and how they’re produced.
Example: “hand” / h / in the word “hand” is spoken.
Phonology -> the descriptive of the systems and patterns of speech sounds; based
on the theory of what every speaker of a language unconsciously knows about the
sound patterns of the language.
Example: the word “car” – is made up of 3 phonemes: / c /, / æ /, / r /

2. Morphology vs. Syntax


Morphology -> is the study of structure of words.
Example: Misplace -> mis - + place
(prefix) (root word)
Syntax -> is a study of structure of sentence.
Example: The professor I told you about rejected my research proposal
S V

3. Semantics and Pragmatics


Semantics -> the branch of linguistics and logic concerned with meaning.
Example: I put the plant in the window
Pragmatics -> study of words and their meaning in a language with concern to their
context.
Example: The ham sandwich wants another beer
