Important Questions in Phonology

Q3. How and why does pronunciation change over time tus giving rise to different dialect and languages, and different forms of the same word or morphemes in different contexts?How can we account for common patterns in diverse languages, such as segment inventories and phonotactics?
2.what are the rules that determine how the sounds combine and influence one another?

Q1.How is language and its parts, including words and morphemes, represented in the mind of the speaker; how is this representation accessed and used? How can we account for the variation in the phonetic shape of these elements as a function of context and speaking style?
1.what is the relationship between allophone and phoneme?
3.How is sound represented in our mind?

4.what are the sciences that interact with phonology?
5.what are the models of phonology?
6.what are the approaches to study phonology?
7.How does phonology interact with other level of linguistics?
8.What is a phonologist interested in?

C2. Elicitaiton as Experimental Phonology

2.1 Introduction
Phonology has changed not just conceptually, but also in terms of methodology
Two sources for phonologists to acquire information
(i)informant sessions
(ii)written sources
John Ohala argued for a more "experimental phonology"
Methods require more than deductive reasoning and a face-to-face analysis
(1) Phonology="the intersection of phonetics and grammar"
(2) Where have all the phonemes gone?
(3) Two classes of phonomenon are clamined to be missing:
a. word level phonology that is completely regular;
b. phrase-level phonology that is not broad phonetics
