The sounds t, th, and sh are phonemes, which are individual units of sound in a language. They can change the meaning of a word, such as the difference between the word "bat" and "pat" which are distinguished by the phoneme /b/ and /p/. Morphemes are units of meaning and semantics refer to the meaning of words, neither of which are applicable to individual sounds. Syntax refers to the structure of sentences.
