Manual of English Phonology


    The word, “phonology,” comes to us from two Greek combining forms,
     “phon” and “logy”.  “Phon” means “sound,” and “logy” means “the study
     of”.  Literally, the word, “phonology” means “the study of sound”.  The study
     of sound proves to be an important endeavor for academic success due to the
     fact that our written language (written code) is a symbolic representation for
     our spoken language (verbal code).  In order to firmly grasp the relationship
     between sounds and their graphic representations in print, an awareness of
     sound-symbol correspondence must be fostered.  The very essence of this
     knowledge is termed phonemic awareness.

     This 89-page book offers a thorough explanation regarding sound-symbol
     correspondence and provides complete coverage of all vowels, vowel teams,
     consonants, consonant digraphs.  Additionally, a comprehensive presentation
     of the spelling rules that govern the production of our written language are
     explored.
