Phonological Segments
Presented by: Jay Mhar Teodoro
Psychologically, humans hear speech but interpret the segments of sound to formulate meaning from language.
hello world
Hi, how are you?
What is segment?
A segment is any one of the discrete units that occur in a sequence of sounds, which can be broken down into phonemes, syllables or words in spoken language through a process called speech segmentation.
The distinction between hearing and perceiving is fundamental to understanding phonology. Though the concept may be hard to grasp, it essentially boils down to understanding that in speech segmentation, we break down the individual phonetic sounds that we hear into discrete segments.

Take for instance the word "pen" — while we hear the collection of sounds that make up the word, we understand and interpret the three letters as unique segments "p-e-n."
Segmental Sounds
are sounds that are produced by a particular speech segment, such as a consonant or a vowel. The production of segmental sounds requires the use of the vocal organs, such as the tongue, teeth, and lips, to produce the desired sound.
Segmental phonemes are similar, slightly different sounds within a language, such as the sounds of “a,” “e,” “i,” “o,” and “u”.
 In speech, a segment is any one of the discrete units that occur in a sequence of sounds, which can be broken down into phonemes, syllables or words in spoken language through a process called speech segmentation.

I slit a sheet, a sheet i slit,
And on a slitted sheet i sit.
I slit a sheet, a sheet i slit,
The sheet i slit, that sheet was it.
