Explain the concept of 'Computation in Phonology'.

• Computation in Phonology refers to the use of algorithms and formal methods to analyze and model phonological patterns.

• Computation in Phonology is the study of sound systems in human language without any computational methods.

• Computation in Phonology involves the historical study of language sounds over time.

• Computation in Phonology is the application of phonetics in computer programming.

What is 'Extensional Equivalence' in the context of phonology?

• A concept in phonology that refers to the identical function of different phonetic forms.

• A theory that explains the origin of phonetic sounds.

• A method for analyzing the structure of sentences.

• A principle that describes the evolution of languages.

Discuss the difference between 'Grouping' and 'Counting' in phonological analysis.

• Grouping involves categorizing sounds, while Counting involves quantifying them.

• Grouping and Counting are the same in phonological analysis.

• Grouping involves quantifying sounds, while Counting involves categorizing them.

• Neither Grouping nor Counting is used in phonological analysis.

The relationship between 'Productivity' and 'Compositionality' in syntax is:

• They are unrelated concepts.

• Productivity depends on Compositionality.

• Compositionality depends on Productivity.

• They are both essential for understanding syntax.

What are the key components of 'Syntax'?

• Grammar rules

• Vocabulary

• Pronunciation

• Spelling

Explain the principles of 'Syntactic Theory'.

• Syntactic Theory is the study of sentence structure and the rules that govern the formation of sentences in a language.

• Syntactic Theory is the study of word meanings and their relationships.

• Syntactic Theory is the study of language sounds and their patterns.

• Syntactic Theory is the study of language use in social contexts.

Phonology deals with:

• the study of meaning in language

• the study of language sounds

• the study of language structure

• the study of language history

Which of the following falls under the domain of phonology?
