4. PHONETIC ALPHABET

5. PHONETICS
• the study of speech sounds and their physiological production and acoustic
qualities. It deals with the configurations of the vocal tract used to produce speech
sounds (articulatory phonetics), the acoustic properties of speech sounds
(acoustic phonetics), and the manner of combining sounds so as to make
syllables, words, and sentences (linguistic phonetics).
• is the study of human sounds.

6. 3 TYPES OF PHONETICS
Acoustic phonetics: focuses on the physical properties of the sounds of language
Auditory phonetics: focuses on how listeners perceive the sounds of language
Articulatory phonetics: focuses on how the vocal tract produces the sounds of language
