THE POWER OF PHONOLOGY: ANALYZING THE IMPACT OF SOUND STRUCTURE ON LANGUAGE

Puspita Naurah Maharani, Nadhira Afifah, Yani Lubis

Abstract


Language served as a significant symbol of a nation's identity and played a crucial role in shaping the shared values and norms within a national community. Phonology, the study of symbolic sounds in a language that was cognitive abstractions rather than precise reproductions of actual sounds, was the focal point of this research. The main objective of the study was to thoroughly examine how the way we produced and perceived speech sounds influenced different aspects of language. The researchers aimed to understand the impact of sound structure on language by analyzing the organization and patterns of these sounds. It was concluded that phonology, as a field of study, offered valuable knowledge for researchers and educators, contributing to effective communication and a deeper understanding of language structure. The findings of the study emphasized the significance of sound structure analysis in exploring the intricate relationship between sounds and language, ultimately enhancing our comprehension of human communication systems.
