Phonology

Phonology refers to the sound features that are used in a language to communicate meaning. According to (Spratt, Pulverness, and Williams, 2011) is the study of forms and sounds that belong to a particular feature. In the English language these features phonemes are the smallest unit of sound that can make a variation to meaning in a language.

In addition, phonology has different terms that have relation to this topic such as word stress, sentence stress, and intonation that are important at the moment to produce the language. Moreover, when we use connected speech is necessary to take into account the different type of stress such as primary stress, secondary stress, and contrastive stress because if we don't use them correctly probably people couldn´t understand our ideas. In phonology we have a chance to use a phonetic transcription, for example /kən/ for can. The way that I will apply it is using a phonetic chart to teach the pronunciation because most of the time the spelling of a word don't have the same sound.
