Phonetics and phonology #1 (permalink) Thu Feb 26, 2009 23:30 pm   Phonetics and phonology
 

We have been asked this questions,can anyone help please? :)

Distinguish very briefly between phonetics and phonology.
Ithink this sounds right.

While phonetics deals with the form of sounds (how they are produced, heard and how they can be described), phonology is concerned with the function of sounds, that is, with their meaning in a given language.

Describe as precisely as you can what happens (in manner
and place of articulation) when saying the phrase Queen of
Spades.
