What is "phonology"?

Phonology is the study of the sound systems of languages and how sounds function within those systems. It examines the rules and patterns that govern the organization and pronunciation of sounds, focusing on aspects such as phonemes, which are the distinct units of sound that can change meaning, and syllable structure. Phonology also looks at how sounds interact with one another in speech, including processes like assimilation and dissimilation. This field helps to understand how sounds are used in different languages and how they contribute to meaning and communication.
