CONTRASTIVE PHONETICS & PHONOLOGY

Phonetics vs. phonology Phonetics: physical reality of sounds
Articulatory phonetics: the movement of the speech organs
Acoustic phonetics: vibration of the air between the speaker’s mouth and the listener’s ears
Auditory phonetics: the sensation of hearing Phonology: how sounds function in a
language

Contrastive phonetics
3 approaches:1st approach
Detailed description of the sounds of 2 languages Comparison of L1 and L2 sounds with a shared
articulatory basis (e.g. IPA chart) Example:
comparing RP C’s (L1) to Slovene C’s (L2) Labio-dental fricatives RP: /f/ /v/ Slo: /f/

2nd approach Analysis of acousitc properties of speech sounds
of 2 languages Comparing L1 and L2 sounds which have much in
common physically Example:
RP: /p/ in ‘pale’→[p ʰ] aspirated Slo: /p/ in ‘palača’→[p] not aspirated
3rd approach Concerns the ‘message’ the ear transmits to the
brain Analysis of auditory features

Contrastive phonology
Concerns the analysis and comparison of L1 and L2 phonemes
Similar sounds of 2 languages can have different functional statuses
Example:RP: /ŋ/ → functional status: a phonemeSlo: [ŋ] → functional status: an allophone of
/n/+/k/; /n/+/g/; /n/+/x/

Contrasting sound systems
4 steps in CA of sound systems1st: draw up a phonemic inventory of L1 and
L22nd: equate phonemes interlingually3rd: list the phonemic variants (allophones)4th: state the distributional restrictions for
phonemes and allophones of each language

Steps 1 and 2
Equate the phonological categories across the two languages
Use IPA charts for Cs and Vs Classify Cs according to the three labels
(place and manner of articulation, voicing) Classify Vs according to the tongue
position, lip rounding, nasality, length

Step 3
State the allophones of each phoneme of L1 and L2Same phoneme in L1 and L2, but different
allophones RP: /l/ →[ł]; [l] Slo: /l/ →[l]
Phoneme in L1 and allophone in L2 RP: /ŋ/ Slo: [ŋ]

Step 4
State the distributional restrictions on the allophones and phonemes of L1 and L2
Two languages with corresponding phonemes with phonetically similar allophones but different environments for their occurrenceRP+ Spanish: /ŋ/RP: /ŋ/ before velars: ‘sink’ ‘longist’Spanish: /ŋ/ before /h/ and /w/: estranjero
/ŋ’h/; un huevo /ŋ w/
