Phonetics vs. Phonology

Phonetics is the study of human speech sounds in

general and it involves their production (e.g. place

and manner of articulation) and perception.

Phonology is the study of sound systems/patterning

and is concerned with how the speech sounds

combine and function in specific languages.

For example, clear [l] and dark [ł] are

phonetically the same in English and Kurdish,

but they function as one phoneme in English

but as two phonemes in Kurdish.
