Phonology is the branch of linguistics that studies how languages systematically organize their phones 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:
The Gyeongsang dialects are also known as Southeastern Korean.
In linguistics,a segment is "any discrete unit that can be identified,either physically or auditorily,in the stream of speech". The term is most used in phonetics and phonology to refer to the smallest elements in a language,and this usage can be synonymous with the term phone.

Catherine Phebe Browman was an American linguist and speech scientist. She received her Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of California,Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1978. Browman was a research scientist at Bell Laboratories in New Jersey (1967–1972). While at Bell Laboratories,she was known for her work on speech synthesis using demisyllables. She later worked as researcher at Haskins Laboratories in New Haven,Connecticut (1982–1998). She was best known for developing,with Louis Goldstein,of the theory of articulatory phonology,a gesture-based approach to phonological and phonetic structure. The theoretical approach is incorporated in a computational model that generates speech from a gesturally-specified lexicon. Browman was made an honorary member of the Association for Laboratory Phonology.
