What does «fonólogo» mean in Spanish?
- A person knowledgeable in phonology, a subfield of linguistics that studies sounds as functional elements within each language (sounds in their physical and physiological aspects). The difference between a phonologist (of phonology) and a phonetician (of phonetics) must be distinguished from the phonetician, who is the specialist in phonetics, which is the science that studies the phonic expression of language at the level of the tongue. The phonetician studies the acoustic and articulatory particularities, making it possible to answer questions such as "how is a particular sound pronounced?".
