Phonology, Phonemes, Sounds.Abstract
In human life, language is a system of arbitrary sound symbols used by humans to communicate with each other. As a system, language has systematic (ruled) and systematic (subsystem) properties. One of its subsystems is phonology. Phonology is a branch of linguistics that explains issues about language sounds spoken through the vocal tract. The sounds of language spoken can produce thousands of meaningful words. Thus, from a series of words that are arranged, sentences can be produced so that they become complex languages. Phonology explains language sounds in general and functionally. Phonemes can be described as the smallest language units, meaning that phoneme units have a function to distinguish the meaning of language. Before learning how to structure a language and its meaning, you must first know the sounds of the language in it. In learning Arabic, the first thing that must be known is the sound of the language. Therefore, phonology has an important role in learning and mastering language.
