Definition and scope of phonology

In order to delve into the basics of English phonology, it is important to establish a clear understanding of what phonology is and its scope of study. Phonology is a subfield of linguistics that focuses on the systematic study of sounds within a particular language or languages. It examines the patterns, organization, and rules governing the sounds and their usage in speech.
The scope of phonology encompasses several key aspects. Firstly, it examines the inventory of sounds in a language, identifying the distinct phonemes and their distribution within words.

These rules determine which sounds can appear in specific positions within words or syllables (Dodd, et al, 2003).
