Document Summary

Both are to do with the sounds of language, but at two different levels. Phonetics is the measurable things about sounds, acoustic value, what articulators are used, a measurable or real thing, how you produce the sound. Phonology is the representations of the sound category and more abstract, the function of the sound and it"s role in a language. For example, e/ee has a functional role in english because it distinguishes sheep and ship but this might not be important in other languages. Phonetics: articulacy: how you actually produce the sound, acoustic: measurements, analyzing harmonics, burst, duration of the sound, auditory: belongs to psychology, how you produce phonetic information and group it into categories based on your language. Rhyme is the ending of the word. B and p are two different sounds in language and produces two different words in english.
