Sound system of language: Phonology

Sound system of language: Phonology
Phonology is the systematic structure of sound systems. This is a study of the relationship between how sounds are pronounced and how they are stored in the mind. It shows how the sounds are organized within the words. In phonology a phoneme, means structural elements and allophones are realizations of single structural elements in the system of language. In phonology there is a study of minimal pairs which means two words that differ by only a single sound and distinction depends on sounds not in spellings.
Natural classes of sounds contain all the sounds that share a particular set of features. This chapter also talks about the syllables and its structure. Syllable is a phonological unit consisting of one or more sounds.
This study gives me a kind of base for learning language. Back home, In Nepal though I study English for many years but I never took any linguistic classes which makes me able to understand English from the surface level. I am using all four skills of English but without knowing its structure. Now When I am reading the text of linguistic and grammar I am feeling as if I am being able to make sense what is the structure behind the language and I think this is very important to teach English everywhere.
