Paul de Lacy is a linguist and Professor Emeritus of Linguistics at Rutgers University. He is currently Honorary Associate Professor at the University of Auckland. He is known for his works on phonology. [1] [2] [3]
Phonology is the branch of linguistics that studies how languages or dialects systematically organize their sounds or,for sign languages,their constituent parts of signs. The term can also refer specifically to the sound or sign system of a particular language variety. At one time,the study of phonology related only to the study of the systems of phonemes in spoken languages,but may now relate to any linguistic analysis either:
Roman Osipovich Jakobson was a Russian-American linguist and literary theorist.
The open front unrounded vowel,or low front unrounded vowel,is a type of vowel sound used in some spoken languages. It is one of the eight primary cardinal vowels,not directly intended to correspond to a vowel sound of a specific language but rather to serve as a fundamental reference point in a phonetic measuring system.
