Phonography (linguistics)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Two related concepts are referred to as phonography (also called phonography ) in written linguistics :

  1. The fundamental property of writing systems to correspond with the sounds of the spoken language and not with the contents and meanings. This includes all alphabetic , consonant and syllabic scripts .
  2. The actual correspondence of sounds and letters or phonemes and graphemes to one another within a certain writing system.

Sound-letter assignment

The sound-letter assignment (or phoneme-grapheme correspondence ) describes the relationship between spoken sounds and written characters. Every orthography defines complex rules according to which graphemes can be read as phonemes and vice versa.

It is described in § 1 to § 32 for German in the set of rules published by the Council for German Spelling .
