What is the study of the pronunciation of a particular language, within a specific language tradition called?

  • A.Accent
  • B.Orthoepy
  • C.Phonetics
  • D.Phonology

Answer: D

The keyed answer is phonology, the study of the sound system of a particular language and how its sounds work within that language.

Orthoepy is the study of correct or accepted pronunciation, which is also a reasonable reading of the question, so the key is open to question. Phonetics studies speech sounds in general across languages, and accent is a way of speaking, not a study.
