The study of English phonetics and phonology is essential for understanding the physical characteristics of human speech sounds and their distribution in language systems. Phonetics focuses on the sounds themselves, while phonology delves into their classification and patterns within a language. Key concepts such as phonemes, stress, intonation, and phonetic transcription are explored, along with distinctions between accent and dialect in English. Various English dialects, including slang, colloquial, and standard English, are also discussed. Additionally, the use of received pronunciation (RP) in broadcasting and the International Phonetics Alphabet (IPA) are highlighted as essential tools in the field.
