Question

Which of these refers to the sound feature of a language?

• A. Syntax
• B. Morphemic
• C. Phonetic substances
• D. Semantics

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Phonetic substances

• Phonetic substances: refers directly to the physical sounds of a language, how they are produced and perceived, including their articulation, acoustic properties, and auditory qualities. 

• a) Syntax:

  This refers to the rules governing how words are combined to form sentences. It deals with the structure of sentences, not the sounds themselves. 

• b) Morphemic:

  This relates to the smallest meaningful units in a language, called morphemes. While morphemes are involved in building words, they are not directly concerned with the sounds of those words. 

• d) Semantics:

  This refers to the study of meaning in language. It deals with how words and phrases convey meaning, not the sounds themselves.
