What is phonology?

Definition

 Phonology is the study of how sounds are organized and used in natural languages.

Discussion

The phonological system of a language includes

an inventory of sounds and their features, and

rules which specify how sounds interact with each other.Phonology is just one of several aspects of language. It is related to other aspects such as phonetics, morphology, syntax, and pragmatics.

Phonology: Is the basis for further work in morphology, syntax,discourse, and orthographydesign.

Phonology : Analyzes the sound patternsof a particular language by

determining which phonetic sounds aresignificant, and

explaining how thesesounds areinterpreted by thenative speaker.

Models of phonology

  Different models of phonology contribute to our knowledge of phonologicalrepresentations and processes:

In classical phonemics,phonemes and their possible combinations are central

In standard generative phonology
distinctive features are central. A stream of speech is portrayed as linear sequenceof discrete sound-segments. Each segment is composed of simultaneously occurring features.

In non-linear models of phonology,
a stream of speech is represented asmultidimensional, not simply as a linear sequence of sound segments. Thesenon-linear models grew out of generative phonology:

Autosegmental phonology
Matrical phonology
Lexical phonology

Opinion :

This article it's very good for a student who want to learn about phonology.  Because the definition not use difficult words.  The article tell us about phonology is the basic from linguistics . 

This article also to explain about phonetic though only the basic but I just the writen about phonology
