The study titled "The Complex Interplay of Segmental and Suprasegmental Features in English Phonology: An Advanced Study" delves into the intricate relationships between the segmental (phonemes) and suprasegmental (prosody) elements of English phonology. Utilizing a multifaceted methodological approach, including acoustic analysis, perception experiments, corpus studies, and computer simulations, the research reveals how stress, intonation, and rhythm systematically influence the acoustic properties of vowels and consonants. Acoustic data analysis indicates that stressed syllables have higher pitch, greater intensity, and distinct formant frequencies, enhancing their perceptual salience. Perception experiments demonstrate that listeners heavily rely on prosodic cues to interpret meaning and resolve ambiguities in speech. Corpus studies highlight significant regional and contextual variations in the use of suprasegmental features, underscoring the phonological diversity within English dialects. Computer simulations using autosegmental-metrical models provide a theoretical framework that supports the hierarchical nature of phonological representations, where suprasegmental features modulate segmental structures. Interviews with native speakers and experts emphasize the practical importance of integrating segmental and suprasegmental analyses for comprehensive linguistic understanding and effective communication.

The aim of this research is to describe the causes of white collar crime. To collect data, this research uses literature study research with secondary data types and qualitative data analysis techniques. The results of the research examined regarding the causes of white collar crime are among professional people who have studied the law in terms of dimensions in the field of work related to seven aspects of people's lives, this involves their expertise in violating the law in order to obtain benefits for themselves and themselves. people involved around him.

The study of the English language's phonology, or sound system, is known as English phonology. To understand each other between speakers and listeners, English users must be able to pronounce correctly so that the message is conveyed without misunderstanding. One of the important points that must be learned from the science of phonology is minimal pair words to train English language learners to speak like native speakers. This descriptive study aims to determine the level of knowledge of students about the lecture material that has been studied in the fourth semester, namely Minimal Pairs. The study method is cross-sectional with a sample size of 126 respondents taken by consecutive sampling. The level of knowledge of students was found to be in the good category as much as 32.5%, sufficient category as much as 62.7%, poor category by 4.8%. Most of the respondents, 62.7%, had a sufficient level of knowledge. The conclusion obtained from this study is that students majoring in English tadris class of 2021 UIN North Sumatra have a sufficient level of knowledge about Minimal Pairs.

The Minimal Pairs technique is a technique for investigating the existence of phonemes (language sounds that can distinguish meaning) by comparing two or more forms of speech sounds in the same environment. The minimal pairs technique is used to practice pronunciation skills, especially on similar word sounds and makes it easier for us to distinguish phoneme sounds in English. This study aims to determine student perceptions of the use of minimal pairs technique in class. This research is qualitative research using questionnaires and interviews that ask students' perceptions about the use of minimal pairs technique in class. The results of this study indicate that most students have positive perceptions of using the minimal pairs technique in improving their pronunciation skills. Then they argue that their pronunciation skills improve after using the minimal pairs technique. So that this technique can be suggested as a learning method that will be applied in class learning to improve students' pronunciation skills.

This artical is motivateid by Phone Transcriptions or Google Translate Sound in mproving Students’ Pronountions: Students’ Perceptions. Therefore, to improve students’ pronunciation skills, the teacher suggests to students use Phone Transcriptions or Google Translate Sound as media to learn pronunciation independently. The aim of this research is to describe the students’ perceptions of using Phone Transcriptions or Google Translate Sound and to describe the obstacles do students find using Phone Transcriptions or Google Translate Sound as media in learning pronunciation. This research used qualitative method in specific descriptive qualitative methods. The participant of this research were 36 students of English Department. They are students from TBI1 in state Islamic University of North Sumatra. The result of this research shows the students’ perception on using Phone Transcriptions or Google Translate Sound as media in learning pronunciation was positive, because students can learn practically and independently.

This study aims to inform that an understanding of phonetic symbols is needed to assist in pronouncing. This study uses library research, this study uses student observation by giving students a few words or sentences and then students read it. The result, students of the Department of English at Negeri Padang University in 2015 were said to have good skills in pronouncing the vowels of English words. The average is 66.1. There are 9 excellent students here.

Phonology is an important part of sound or sound in language pronunciation, including in English, because inaccurate pronunciation will result in a misunderstanding in communication. The difficulty faced by students lies in the pronunciation of sounds. As for the research method, the researcher used a type/research approach in the form of Library Research. Literature study is used to collect information and data with the help of various materials in the library such as documents, books, magazines, and historical stories.
