Preferred term

phonology  

Definition(s)

  • Phonology, also called phonemics, is the study of the organization of speech sounds into a linguistic system of contrasting elements called phonemes. Unlike phonetics, phonology must account for native-speaker judgments as to what is contrastive and what is not. [Source: Encyclopedia of Anthropology; Phonology]
