Define Phonology and Morphology-01728

Phonology is the study of how sounds are organized and used in natural languages. The phonological system of a language includes an inventory of sounds and their features and rules which specify how sounds interact with each other. Phonological development refers to forming and using speech sounds to clearly communicate language. As more sounds of a language are acquired, language becomes clearer as well as pronunciation, fluency, and intonation improves. There are approximately 44 speech sounds in English. Speech sounds used in combination with other speech sounds produce an oral language.

In linguistics, morphology is the branch of grammar devoted to the study of the structure or forms of words, primarily through the use of the morpheme construct. It is traditionally distinguished from syntax.
