The author takes us on a journey through the history of this linguistic discipline, tracing its roots back to ancient Sanskrit and Greek thinkers. We learn about the fundamental building blocks of language ââ â distinctive features ââ â and how they combine to form syllables and ultimately, words. The author sheds light on the crucial role of these features in differentiating meaning, highlighting their importance in both speech production and comprehension. The book goes beyond simply identifying these features, delving into their intricate classifications and interrelationships. We discover the fascinating interplay between prosodic features like stress and length, and inherent features like voicing and nasality.
