1. It results from the abstraction or theoretical description of the sounds of the language: It is divided into two:

   • Segmentals
     • They are specified in succession, constituting a term.
       • Consonants (they are voiced and deaf)
         • /b/ /c/ /d/....
       • Vowels (voiced)
         • Closed vowels, /i/ and /u/
         • Open vowels, /e/, /o/, /a/
     • Examples:
       • / s / / p / / e / / e / / d / / c / / a / / t /
   • Suprasegmentals
     • They are not analyzed separately. It is added to the vowels, elements that affect the phonic sound, word or sentence.
       • Examples:
         • “beer dripped” and “beard ripped” are distinguished by word juncture. “buzz” “bus”
     • • Tone:
       • It is more like an attitude rather than being a voice pattern. It is the general sound of someone who can express moods or emotions.
       • In this way the words in a sentence can have other meanings in addition to the actual original meaning.
     • • Intonation:
       • The frequency of vibration of the vocal cords is modulated to achieve particular effects.
       • It serves to distinguish: boredom, declarative (descending intonation) / imperative or interrogative (ascending contour), incompleteness (ascending or level tone) and finality (descending tone).
       • Examples:
         • Sam got an A in Calculus; Sam got an A in Calculus!; Sam got an A in Calculus?; Sam? got an A? in Calculus?
         • He is special; He is special!
     • • Word stress:
       • A syllable is longer, stronger or may have more emphasis on them than on others.
       • Most systems usually distinguish between at least three levels of stress, primary (indicated by ˈ), secondary (indicated by ˌ)
       • Examples:
         • SLEN – der ; re – ve – LA - tion
