About this Unit
In 2013, this unit replaced by 102042 – The Sound of Language. The richness of information conveyed through spoken language owes its form to the combination and recombination of a small number of sounds. In this unit, students will learn the sounds of the world's languages (phonetics) and the ways in which they are combined to build words (phonology). Examples will draw from English, Australian Aboriginal languages, and a diverse range of languages spoken around the world.
