Parent topics

  • Irish language [r]: A Goidelic Celtic language spoken mainly on the island of Ireland and in Canada. [e]
  • Phonology [r]: In linguistics, the study of the system used to represent language, including sounds in spoken language and hand movements in sign language. [e]

Subtopics

Other related topics

  • Orthography of Irish
  • Ireland (state) [r]: Republic (population c. 4.2 million; capital Dublin) comprising about 85% of the Atlantic island of Ireland, west of Great Britain. [e]
  • Celtic languages [r]: Branch of the Indo-European languages, sometimes believed to have once been spoken throughout Europe, now confined to the British Isles and Brittany. [e]

Linguistics

  • Syllable [r]: Unit of organisation in phonology that divides speech sounds or sign language movements into groups to which phonological rules may apply. [e]
  • Stress (linguistics) [r]: Phonological and phonetic prominence of a syllable relative to other syllables, generally involving greater pitch, length or loudness. [e]
  • Prosody [r]: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Prosody (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.

  • Phoneme [r]: Theoretical unit of language that can distinguish words or syllables, such as /b/ versus /m/; often considered the smallest unit of language, but is a transcription convention rather than a true unit in most models of phonology since the 1960s. [e]
  • Consonant [r]: Unit of language, defined in phonetics as a speech sound that involves full or partial 'closure' of the mouth, and in phonology as a segment that cannot occupy the nucleus or 'peak' of a syllable. [e]
  • Vowel [r]: Speech sound with relatively unhindered airflow; different vowels are articulated mainly through tongue movements at the palatal and velar regions of the mouth, and are usually voiced (i.e. involve vocal fold movement). [e]
