Document Summary
Lecture 11 notes: a set of symbols, and principles for combining these symbols, which allow for communication and comprehension, levels b. i. Phonology the sound system of a language b. ii. Morphology and semantics how a language expresses meaning b. iii. Syntax structure of language, rules for combining words b. iv. Pragmatics how language is used in context: phonology c. i. The study of the basic sounds of consonants and vowels c. ii. The smallest unit of sound that can be altered to change the meaning of a word c. iii. c. iv. in english, the words gin, kin, pin, tin, win all have different meanings because the initial sound, or phoneme, is different.
