4 Phonetics and Phonology
In this chapter we sketch the pronunciation system of English. We begin
with phonetics, a system for describing and recording the sounds of language objectively. Phonetics provides a valuable way of opening our ears to
facets of language that we tend to understand by reference to their written
rather than their actual spoken forms. Phonology concerns itself with the
ways in which languages make use of sounds to distinguish words from each
other.
Teachers should be knowledgeable about the phonetics and phonology
of English because (1) the sound system is primary and the basis for the
spelling system; (2) they may have to teach English pronunciation to students who are not native speakers of English; (3) they may have to teach
poetry, which requires that they teach about rhyme, alliteration, assonance,
and other poetic devices that manipulate sound; (4) it is important to understand accents and language variation and to react appropriately to them
and to teach appropriate language attitudes about them to students (see our
chapters on Language and Society and Usage in Book II); (5) we are so literate that we tend to “hear” the sounds of our language through its spelling
system, and phonetics/phonology provides a corrective to that; and (6) phonetics and phonology provide systematic and well-founded understandings
of the sound patterns of English.
