PHONOLOGY is to SYNTAX as ____ is to ____.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Phonology and syntax are two subfields of linguistics. The relationship between phonology and syntax is that phonology deals with the sound system of a language, while syntax deals with the structure of sentences. Similarly, sound and rule are related in that sound refers to the auditory aspect of language, while rule refers to the grammatical structure of language. Therefore, B is the correct answer.

The other options (A, C, and D) do not have a clear relationship that is analogous to the one between phonology and syntax. A and C are unrelated concepts, and D is a different pair of language skills that are not subfields of linguistics.
