Abstract
In any language, words are uttered systematically according to
certain rules. Each language has therefore its own system.
Language may be defined as "a system of utterances governed by a
set of.rules". In a language there are partial systems such as
Phonetics, Morphology, Syntax, etc. Wnen these partial systems
are put together they form a unique system of a particular
language. Phonetics is the study of a single speech sound. A
word is made up of a number of phonetic units.
