In this unit, we are going to study the English sounds.

There are 44 (20 vowels and 24 consonants) English sounds or Phonemes.
A phoneme is the smallest sound unit which can make a difference to meaning

Phonemes have their own symbols (phonemic symbols), each of which represents one sound.

Phonemic transcription is used in dictionaries to aid pronunciation. (Cambridge Glossary, 2005)
Words can be presented in phonemic script (usually International Phonetic Alphabet or IPA)

PhonologyPhonology is the study of the sounds features used in a language to communicate meaning (Spratt, 2005, p.13).

In English these features include
Word stress
Sentence stress
phonemes
intonation phonology

A word can be either a syllablesyllable (e.g. cat), two (e.g. window) or more (5: electricity) syllables.
When a word has more than one syllable, one of these syllables carries a stressstress.
In other words it is pronounced with more force or is it heard being more emphatic.
Therefore the rest of the syllables are unstressed

Sentence Stress can therefore be used to show meaning, to emphasise a particular point or feeling.

refers to the way the pitch of the voice changes. For example, if they are angry or pleased. Intonation can be rising or falling or both.

Vowel and consonant sounds together form syllables. There are different combinations of syllables. These are the possibilities
Vowel only (e.g. a)Vowel + consonant (e.g. eat)Consonant + vowel (e.g. me)Consonant + vowel + consonant (e.g. big)

Phonemes that are separated sounds and pairs of words which differ by only one vowel or consonant sound (bit/pit bit/but) are called minimal pairs (Hewings, 2004).
sheep ship
Cat cut
heat hit
bat bad

Moreover a vowel combination usually involving a quick but smooth movement from one vowel to another, is called a diphthong
