Phonology is the study of systematic organization of sound and how they are used in natural language. It studies on how sound interacts with each other.

Morphology is the study of words, how they are formed and their relationship with other words.

Syntax studies grammatical arrangement of words within sentences and how we use speech in communication.
Lexicon refers to the vocabulary of a person, place or a branch of knowledge.

Phonology. In minimal pairs, students are required to identify whether two sets of words are different or the same based on the phoneme sequence contained in each word. for example, the words vine and fine are different because they differ in at least one phonemea.
