Abstract

Phonology, a core component of linguistic study, encompasses the patterns of sounds in languages and the abstract cognitive processes that govern them. This systematic review synthesizes current trends in phonology research, aiming to provide a comprehensive overview of the discipline's evolving landscape. The review analyzed 24 studies, revealing that phonology is the predominant focus, accounting for 50% of the research, with other areas including energy studies, code review, entrepreneurship, developmental differences, visual word learning, dyslexia, and phonological awareness. Key findings include the emergence of phonological features independently of phonetic substance (Boersma, 2022), and the complexity of incomplete neutralization in Mandarin (Du & Durvasula, 2022). The integration of technology in phonological training is a significant trend, with studies showcasing the role of neural networks in phonological feature emergence (Boersma et al., 2022) and the enhancement of phonological education through digital tools (Anika, 2023). The interdisciplinary connections of phonology with other fields, such as energy studies and entrepreneurship, highlight its broad applicability and relevance. This review underscores the necessity for continued interdisciplinary research and the integration of innovative methodologies to further our understanding of phonological systems. The implications of these findings extend to educational practices, cognitive science, and technological applications, promoting a deeper understanding of phonological phenomena and encouraging future advancements in the field.

Abstract

Phonetics, a crucial aspect of linguistics, plays a significant role in language acquisition and proficiency. This systematic literature review investigates emerging trends in phonetics research from 2019 to 2024, focusing on the impact of orthographic forms on second language (L2) phonological representation and processing. Utilizing tools like Publish or Perish, with tiw database crossreff (1000) and google schooler (230) and total 1230 (n=16) studies to explore how orthographic inputs affect L2 learners' speech perception, production, phonological awareness, and lexical learning. Our findings reveal that orthographic forms can override phonological inputs, leading to persistent effects despite extensive exposure and formal teaching. This study highlights the necessity of incorporating orthographic considerations into phonetic and phonological instruction to enhance L2 learning outcomes. Furthermore, it examines the role of technology, such as YouTube and AI-driven platforms, and innovative pedagogical strategies, including embodied cognition, in improving phonetic education. By aligning with similar studies, this research reinforces the pervasive influence of orthography on L2 phonological development and underscores the importance of developing comprehensive teaching strategies. In the larger context, these findings contribute valuable insights to the field of phonetics and language education, emphasizing the need for tailored educational methods that address orthographic influences, ultimately leading to more effective language learning practices globally. Future research should explore a wider range of languages and orthographic systems, employing longitudinal and experimental designs to deepen the understanding of orthographic effects on phonological development.
