Phonetics studies speech sounds as physical events, that is how they are articulated by the organs of speech, how they travel as sound waves and how they are perceived, and it is therefore concerned with articulation. Phonology studies how those sounds function as a system within a particular language, dealing with phonemes, allophones, syllable structure and stress. Morphology studies the internal structure of words, examining morphemes, roots, affixes and word formation. Syntax studies how words combine into phrases, clauses and sentences. Semantics, which is not listed here, studies meaning.
