Phonetics
– a branch of linguistics which is concerned with human noises by which the 
thought is actualized. Phonetics analyses the nature of these noises, their combinations and their 
functions in relation to the meaning. 
Phonological analysis
– analysis whose aim is to determine which differences of sounds are 
phonemic / non-phonemic and to find the inventory of the phonemes of this or that language. 
Phonological mistakes
– mistakes connected with the alteration of the meaning of words, 
which prevent communication. If an allophone of some phoneme is replaced by an allophone of a 
different phoneme the mistake is called phonological, because the meaning is inevitably affected. It 
happens when one ore more relevant features of the phoneme are not realized. For example, 
mispronunciation of /ɵ/ may lead to the confusion of 
thought
– 
fought
, 
think
– 
sink
, 
mouth
– 
mouse
, 
etc. 
Phonological opposition – 
a pair of words in which any one phoneme is usually opposed to 
any other phoneme in at least one lexical or grammatical minimal or subminimal pair, e. g. /t – d/, 
/k – g/ in 
ten
– 
den
, 
coat
– 
goat
. 
Phonology
(
Functional Phonetics, Linguistic Phonetics)
– the branch of phonetics that 
studies the linguistic function of consonant and vowel sounds, syllabic structure, word accent and 
prosodic features, such as pitch, loudness and tempo; the branch of phonetics that is concerned with 
the social functions of different phonetic phenomena; the description of the system and patterns of 
sounds that occur in a language.
