What is phonology ?
Phonology can be described as an aspect of language that deals with rules
for the structure and sequencing of speech sounds. Every language has a wide
variety of speech sounds (phonemes). For example in English, the ng
sound, as in ring, will never appear at the beginning of a word.
Phonology rules also determine which sounds may be combined. For example, the
combination of dn will not appear in sequence in the same syllable.
What are phonological Processes?
Phonological processes are patterns of speech found in many typically
developing children. For example, weak syllable deletionis when a
child deletes syllables from a multisyllabic word. A child may say, nana
rather than saying, banana, a child may also delete final consonants
from words,cu for cup. Phonological processes become problematic
when they do not disappear by a certain age. There is developmental data that
indicates when phonological processes typically disappear. There are different
norms for different processes.
Try saying the word 'helps' out loud, paying close attention to the final
sound of the word. After that, say the word 'crabs' out loud, again paying
attention to the final sound. After getting over the embarrassment of talking
to yourself (especially if you're in a crowded place!),
If you said that they are different, you're absolutely correct! In 'helps',
the final sound is pronounced like you would expect the letter 's' to sound.
However, in 'crabs', the ending should have sounded more like a 'z'. The
reasoning for this change can be found through the use of phonology, which is
the study of speech sounds and how they change depending on certain situations
or placements in syllables, words, and sentences.
