 Phonology is the study of sound
patterns, where sound refers to the
auditory effect of articulations
made by the vocal apparatus during
speech, and patterns, to abstract
structures that correlate to mind —
they “attract our notice, they grab
our attention, they seem in varying
degrees to somehow fit human
processes of cognition, to be sense
making, to bear intelligibility”
VOICELESS
 A simple explanation of voiced consonants is that they use
VOICE the voice. This is easy to test by putting your finger on
your throat. If you feel a vibration the consonant is voiced

AS FOR THE LETTERS OF THE VOICE ARE

B TH R I
“BOOK” “THROUT” “RELAX” “INSECT”

D V Z J
“DOOR” “VASE” “ZOO” “JUMP”

M N G L
“MOUTH” “NOSE” “GLOVES” “LOVE”
 Voiceless consonants do not use the voice. They are
percussive and use hard sounds. Once again, you can test if
a consonant is voiceless by putting your finger on your
throat. You will feel no vibration in your throat, just a short
explosion of air as you pronounce

AS FOR THE LETTERS OF THE VOICELESS ARE

C P K TH
“PUT” “KILL” “THINK”

S SH T F
“SUN” “SHOWER” “TABLE” “FLOWER”
 CONCLUDING

SOUNDS WITH VOCAL CHORD VIBRATION ARE VOICED

VOICELESS .

EXAMPLE CONTRAST THE SOUNDS OF THE LETTERS

V AND F .PLACE YOUR FINGERS ON YOUR THROAT
AND MAKE THE SOUNDS.YOU SHOULD FEEL A
VIBRATION WHEN YOU MAKE THE V SOUNDS AND
NO VIBRATION WHEN YOU MAKE THE F SOUNDS .
V IS THE VOICE AND F THE VOICELESS.
