3.       Manner of articulation
a.       Stop: sounds in which there is a complete closure in the mouth, so that the air is blocked for a fraction of a second and then released with a small burst of sound
b.      Fricatives: have a closure which is not quite complete.
c.       Affricatives: are a combination of a stop and a fricative
d.      Nasals: like stop, except that there is a completeclosure in the mouth
e.      Liquids: are sounds where the air escapes around the sides of the tongue
f.        Glides: are sounds where the tongue only approaches the roof of the mouth, so that there is not enough obstruction to create any friction
4.       Vowels: while the consonant sound are mostly articulated via obstruction in the vocal track.
5.       Diphthongs: combination of two vowel sound.
6.       Voiceless: the vocal cord are spread apart.
7.       Voiced: the vocal cord are drawn together.




C.      Phonology
1.       Phonology: sistem of speech sound.
2.       Phonemes: the smallest distinguishing sound in the language. Seen between / /, are the individual sounds and are abstract mental units. They are not physical sounds.
3.       Phones: a phonetic segment represented by [ ]. Phones are phonetic symbols or the realization of phonemes. One phoneme may be realized as more than one phone/phonetic segment.
4.       Allophones: one of a set of multiple possible spoken sounds used to pronounce a single phoneme.
5.       Syllables: is a unit of organization for a sequence of speech sounds. For example, the word water is composed of two syllables: wa and ter.
6.       Minimal pairs: two word that different but have similar sound. Ex: [bit] ("beat") /i/, [bɪt] ("bit") /ɪ/, [bet] ("bait") /e/
7.       Minimal set: whe a group that different and changing
8.       Assimilation: is a common phonological process by which one sound becomes more like a nearby sound.
D.      Morphology
1.       Morphology: is a part of linguistic which identify language as grammatical units.
2.       Morpheme: smallest unit that carries information about meaning or function. Such us: (-er) is like writer, runner, reader or (re-/) is like reconsider, relive, recharge. (imbuhan)
a.       Morpheme level of analysis:
1)      Simple/monomorphemic words : no further subdivision
2)      Complex/polymorphemic words : 2 or more morphemes
a)      Free morphemes (a morpheme can stand by themselves as single word). Ex: open and tour.
b)      Bound morphemes ( a morpheme cann’t stand alone must be attached to another element; -s, -er, -ed as affixes in word form). Ex: undressed, carelessness
b.      Branch of free in morpheme
1)      Lexical morphemes: is the word categories which are treated as an ‘open’ class of word in setting of ordinary nouns, adjectives, and verbs.
Ex: house, tiger, sad, long, yellow, open, etc.
2)      Functional morphemes: is the word categories which are treated as a ‘closed’ class of word in setting of conjunctions, prepositions, articles, and pronouns.
Ex: and, but, when, because, on, near, etc.
c.       Branch of bound in morpheme
1)      Derivational morpheme: use prefixes (re-, pre-, mis-, co-, etc.) and suffixes (-full, -ness, -less, -ly, etc.) that is combined in a word,  change the meaning of word and make new word different grammatical category from the stem.
Ex: (careful, careless, review, reset, etc)
2)      Inflectional morpheme: is not use to produce new words, but to indicated the grammatical function. (noun, past-form, possesive, comparative)
Ex: Jim’s two sisters are really different. (noun)
3.       Allowmorph: variation of realization of morpheme


Plurality
Book= s =Books
Box= es =Boxes
Child= ren =Children
Sheep= ø =Sheep
Mouse= (supplation) =Mice
Ox= en =Oxen
