?Which word?

Keep apart phonetics (the study of how speech sounds are made and heard, in all languages) and phonology (the study of the sound system of a particular language).

Phonetics (सभी भाषाओं में वाक्-ध्वनियाँ कैसे बनती और सुनी जाती हैं इसका अध्ययन) और phonology (किसी विशेष भाषा की ध्वनि-व्यवस्था का अध्ययन) को अलग रखिए।

Keep the language-study words together: phonology (sounds), morphology (word structure), syntax (sentence structure), semantics (meaning), pragmatics (meaning in context), etymology (word origins).

भाषा-अध्ययन के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: phonology (ध्वनियाँ), morphology (शब्द-संरचना), syntax (वाक्य-संरचना), semantics (अर्थ), pragmatics (संदर्भ में अर्थ), etymology (शब्द-व्युत्पत्ति)।
