PHONETIC SYMBOLS FOR CONSONANTS
A phonetic system having vowel phonetic symbols separated into full sound symbols and half sound symbols, and consonant phonetic symbols. The full sounds symbols are represented by letters in the English alphabet. The half sound symbols are represented by letters in the English alphabet with a predetermined symbol. Most consonant phonetic symbols are taken from consonant letters of English vocabularies. A phonetic diagram where the vowel phonetic symbols and the consonant phonetic symbols are systematically arranged therein is provided to allow user to easily visualize the vowel and consonant phonetic symbols. The phonetics utilizes direct phonetic spelling method, so as to enable easier obtaining of correct pronunciation. It also helps avoiding the possibility of misreading by utilizing combination of letters that do not appear in the English language.

LO QUE APRENDI EN LA CLASE
con seidero que esta clase me ayudo a mejorar mi pronunciación, ya que fue lo que más trabajamos.
Por otra parte aprendí a relacionarme con los símbolos fonéticos de las palabras y el sonido de cada una dellas, también aprendí a manejar las partes de mi garganta y boca para una mejor pronunciación.

MINIMAL PAIRS
In phonology, minimal pairs are pairs of words or phrases in a particular language, which differ in only one phonological element, such as a phone, phoneme, toneme or chroneme and have a distinct meaning. They are used to demonstrate that two phones constitute two separate phonemes in the language.
As an example for English vowels, the pair "let" + "lit" can be used to demonstrate that the phones [ɛ] (in let) and [ɪ] (in lit) do in fact represent distinct phonemes /ɛ/ and /ɪ/jueves, 2 de abril de 2009

NIM CHIMSKY
Nim Chimpsky (November 19, 1973 – March 10, 2000) was a chimpanzee who was the subject of an extended study of animal language acquisition (codenamed 6.001) at Columbia University, led by Herbert S. Terrace.
The validity of the study is the subject of dispute, as Terrace argued that all ape-language studies, including Project Nim, were based on misinformation—from the chimps. R. Allen and Beatrix Gardner did a similar study known as Project Washoe, in which the chimpanzee was also raised like a human child. Washoe was given affection and participated in everyday social activity with her adoptive family. Her ability to communicate was far more developed than Nim's. Nim lived 24 hours a day with his human family from birth; Washoe had spent her first 10 months in a research laboratory prior to being moved to a language study. But both chimps could use fragments of American Sign Language to make themselves understood.
Chimpsky was given his name as a pun on that of Noam Chomsky, the foremost theorist of human language structure and generative grammar at the time, who held that humans alone were "hard wired" to develop language.[1]

Project Nim was an attempt to go further than Project Washoe. Terrace and his colleagues aimed to use more rigorous experimental techniques, and the intellectual discipline of the experimental analysis of behavior, so that the linguistic abilities of the apes could be put on a more secure footing.
Roger Fouts has written: "Since 98.7% of the DNA in humans and chimps is identical, some scientists (but not Noam Chomsky) believed that a chimp raised in a human family, and using ASL (American Sign Language), would shed light on the way language is acquired and used by humans. Project Nim, headed by behavioral psychologist Herbert Terrace at Columbia University, was conceived in the early 1970s as a challenge to Chomsky's thesis that only humans have language." [1]
Attention was particularly focused on Nim's ability to make different responses to different sequences of signs and to emit different sequences in order to communicate different meanings. However, the results, according to Fouts, were not as impressive as had been reported from the Washoe project. Terrace, however, was skeptical of Project Washoe and, according to the critics, went to great lengths to discredit it.Project Nim was an attempt to go further than Project Washoe.

DEFINITION OF PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY
Phonology (from the Greek: φωνή, phōnē, "voice, sound" and λόγος, lógos, "word, speech, subject of discussion") is the systematic use of sound to encode meaning in any spoken human language, or the field of linguistics studying this use. Just as a language has syntax and vocabulary, it also has a phonology in the sense of a sound system. When describing the formal area of study, the term typically describes linguistic analysis either beneath the word (e.g., syllable, onset and rime, phoneme, articulatory gesture, articulatory feature, mora, etc.) or to units at all levels of language that are thought to structure sound for conveying linguistic meaning. It is viewed as the subfield of linguistics that deals with the sound systems of languages. Whereas phonetics is about the physical production, acoustic transmission and perception of the sounds of speech, phonology describes the way sounds function within a given language or across languages to encode meaning.
IN MY OPINION: phonology is a system that the humanas use, and this system help us to have a good pronuntation. Phonetics is the way that we produce the sound.
