“…Comparing several words from English and Makian can tell us some of the characteristic differences in the way that each language utilizes syllables for forming a word. Charles Hall, (2017) state that phonology is the study of (1) how the speech sounds of a language are used in that language to distinguish meaningful units (such as words) from each other, and (2) how sounds are patterned in a language. Phonological rule is a general statement about the distribution of a phoneme's allophones, e.g., those of /t/.…”

“…Phonology is different in function, phonology concerns itself with the ways in which languages make use of sounds to distinguish words from each other while phonetics, a system for describing and recording the sounds of language objectively. Phonetics provides a valuable way of opening our ears to faces of language that we tend to understand by reference to their written rather than their actual spoken forms (Charles Hall, 2017).…”

Penelitian ini menyelidiki kesulitan dalam mengucapkan bunyi bahasa Inggris oleh penutur Makian. Mengingat fakta bahwa kesalahan pengucapan bahasa kedua sering disebabkan oleh transfer sistem bunyi bahasa pertama yang sudah mapan. Tulisan ini mengkaji beberapa karakteristik perbedaan fonologi antara bahasa Makian dan bahasa Inggris. Penelitian berdasarkan hasil wawancara terhadap 20 siswa MTs. Assyfa Hategau, Tidore, Maluku Utara. Penelitian ini juga membahas beberapa area pengucapan yang bermasalah bagi pebelajar bahasa Inggris. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dimana peneliti menganalisis dan menjelaskan data dengan cara mendeskripsikan penggunaan kata. Teknik yang digunakan dalam mengumpulkan data adalah observasi dan wawancara, dimana peneliti meminta subjek mengucapkan bunyi. Berdasarkan pada penelitian ini ditemukan bahwa ada beberapa penyebab kesulitan pengucapan bunyi bahasa Inggris oleh penutur asli Makian meliputi perbedaan karakteristik sistem vowel bahasa Inggris dan Makian, seperti Lax dan Tense Vowel, distribusi konsonan, perbedaan aspek supra-segmental seperti ritme, penekanan dan intonasi, perbedaan pada huruf vokal yang lebih banyak ditemui di bahasa Inggris, dan perbedaan aturan-aturan fonologi serta asimilasi.

“…In defining prosody, Crystal (2003) asserts that psycholinguistic acoustic properties of sounds are the source of the main linguistic effects: pitch and loudness, which, along with those arising out of the distinctive use of speed and rhythm, are known as prosodic features of a language. Considering their sphere of usage, many linguists express the view that modern English makes more elaborate use of prosody to signal meaning and pragmatics than do most other languages (Hall & Hastings, 2017;Pickering, 2018). Among different functions of prosody, the pragmatic one is the most important.…”

Research studies in a variety of linguistic areas indicate that scholars often refer to computer technologies that become popular as a tool to reinforce the findings and provide the validity of the experimental results. This paper discusses the use of computer technologies in the acoustic analysis of speech prosody focused on the English television advertising discourse. The article aims to determine what the main prosodic characteristics of English advertising discourse are, and how they contribute to the maximum influence on the television audience. Therefore, the study relies upon the acoustic analysis using sound processing software WaveLab, Cool Edit Pro, SpectraLAB, Wasp, Sound Forge to ensure the reliability and validity of the obtained results. Moreover, the computer programs used in this research allowed us to measure the pronunciation accuracy and present results based on many experimental data, not only on the assumptions. Besides, the linguistic interpretation of the data of the perceptual and acoustic analysis of the English television advertising discourse prosody proves a strong correlation of these data. The obtained results indicate that detailed analysis of the quantitative prosodic characteristics of speech enables to get a clear picture of the prosodic organization of the English television advertising discourse. The research proves that the prosody of the English advertising discourse closely correlates with its pragmatic potential and some sociolinguistic features, namely, the social status of the viewer, contribute to the maximum influence on the television audience.

“…When we talk about learning a language other than one's native language, the English language is the foremost choice of the learners due to its worldwide dominance among other languages. Correct pronunciation is directly related to the competence of a speaker, therefore, the English language learners have been observed to strive for a nativelike proficiency to create a positive impression about their language competence (Hall & Hastings, 2017;Khan, 2020;Martyanov, 2018).…”

The present study aims to underscore those issues that render phonetics and phonology a less explored area of research in Pakistan. Traditionally, articulatory and auditory phonetics are focused for general understanding of English speech sounds in Pakistan, but acoustic phonetics that deals with understanding of pronunciation required for effective communication, is almost abandoned. This study is qualitative in nature and is based on empirical evidences from primary and secondary source research articles as well as personal observations. It has been found that experimental phonetics and phonology is generally not focused due to the paucity of subject specialists, unavailability of the trained staff, inadequacy of teaching techniques and methodologies, insufficiency of in-service courses,
