| 释义 | phonology (once / 124414 pages) n Use the noun phonology to describe the study of the way sounds are used in a language and the rules for pronouncing certain words, like the silent t in the French word chat.

You might hear the terms phonetics and phonemes in the same class, both of which have to do with sound, speech, language, and meaning. All of these words have their roots in the Greek word for "voice," phone, and in the case of phonology, the Greek suffix logy, which means "study, science, or theory."
