Linguistics short questions
A phonological rule is a formal way of expressing a systematic phonological or morphophonological process or diachronic sound change in language.
There are 24 different individual consonant speech sounds in the English language and another 20 vowel speech sounds (remember, there are 26 letters of the alphabet…21 consonants and 5 vowels). We call these sounds phonemes. Each phoneme, or speech sound, has a symbolic representation.
There are (of course) conflicting opinions about exactly how many English diphthong sounds there are ranging from 8 to 10. According to Daniel Jones there are 10 English diphthong sounds, according to J. D. O'Connor there are 9 and according to A. C. Gimson there are 8 English diphthong sounds.
Pragmatics. ... In a sense, pragmatics is seen as an understanding between people to obey certain rules of interaction. In everyday language, the meanings of words and phrases are constantly implied and not explicitly stated. In certain situations, words can have a certain meaning.
In linguistics, a distinctive feature is the most basic unit of phonological structure that may be analyzed in phonological theory. Distinctive features are grouped into categories according to the natural classes of segments they describe: major class features, laryngeal features, manner features, and place features.
A diphthong is a sound made by combining two vowels, specifically when it starts as one vowel sound and goes to another, like the oy sound in oil. Diphthong comes from the Greek word diphthongos which means "having two sounds."
Semantics is the study of meaning in language. It can be applied to entire texts or to single words. For example, "destination" and "last stop" technically mean the same thing, but students of semantics analyze their subtle shades of meaning.
In phonetics, a nasal, also called a nasal occlusive, nasal stop in contrast with a nasal fricative, or nasal continuant, is an occlusive consonant produced with a lowered velum, allowing air to escape freely through the nose. Examples of nasals in English are [n] and [m], in words such as nose and mouth.
The word monophthong shows that a vowel is spoken with exactly one tone and one mouth position. For example, when you say "teeth", then while you are creating the sound of the "ee", nothing changes for that sound. A monophthong can be a lexeme of a language and as such it can as well be a syllable.
"Semantics" has to do with considering the meanings of words. When someone says "that's just semantics," it's used idiomatically—a phrase repeated whole, parroted. It's a put-down. It means "You're about to talk about words, but words don't matter."
A consonant is a speech sound that is not a vowel. It also refers to letters of the alphabet that represent those sounds: Z, B, T, G, and H are all consonants. Consonants are all the non-vowel sounds, or their corresponding letters: A, E, I, O, U and sometimes Y are not consonants. In hat, H and T are consonants.
Vowels are voiced sounds made with the mouth open. Consonants are sounds blocked by the tongue, teeth or lips. They can be voiced or unvoiced. There is one consonant made with the mouth open, and no blockage, but it is unvoiced: the H.
Five of the 26 alphabet letters are vowels: A, E, I, O, and U. The letter Y is sometimes considered a sixth vowel because it can sound like other vowels. Unlike consonants, each of the vowel letters has more than one type of sound or can even be silent with no sound at all.

πWhat is English phonology?
English phonology is the study of the phonology (i.e. the sound system) of the English language. Like all languages, spoken English has wide variation in its pronunciation both diachronically and synchronically from dialect to dialect.
