This document provides an introduction to phonetics, which is the study of speech sounds. It defines phonetics and discusses the subfields of articulatory phonetics, acoustic phonetics, and clinical phonetics. Key concepts covered include phonemes, the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), ways of classifying vowels and consonants based on place and manner of articulation, and voicing. Vowels, diphthongs, and consonants are defined and examples of each are provided.

Bring #2 pencil 50 multiple choice or TF Identify structures in anatomy color pictures (multiple choice) Some phonetic transcription. Study PG 287 (first 5 vowels on 288) i I e E ae KNOW all constinants. Questions will come from lecture(ppts). 15Q on anatomy 15 Q phonetics 15 Q Diffrence between speech, languange, processing, terms 15 Q Know facts and figures for written assignment #1.
We will focus more on articulatory. Because it is how we use our body to make the sound
Like a vocal atom. Each vocal sound within a word is imporatant. HAT SAT MAT X-Initial A- medial phoneme T- Final Phoneme
Phonotactics – why sk(ittle) works and (boo)ks
Diphthong- cross between vowel and consonants
/s/ is not the same as s /s/ is the sound not the letter Sounds from all letters are represented so you can know what sounds are made regardless of meaning.
When it is made, everything is unobstructed.
Most sounds are made by how we position the toungue
Need to be able to transcribe a few words from 288 for exam.
1. s ae -3, 5 14 10 13 15 16 S ae t sIt Sit (seat) sEt Sef Fem jEs (yes)
Labials (lips) Dentals made by teeth
Stops (p,d,t,d,g,k) (know what they are but not examples) Fricatives (funnles) (the f in fun, v in voice, th in thick,)
Affricates – cha and ja Choo choo, jap Nasals – m, n, ing
Glide – like a vowel but they go from restricted to open. W, Y Whisky, Yankee Liquids – Tongue curves up on the outside. R (ryne), L(linus), (S sara) Know the diffrences between the last 4 ones.
Obstruents – restriction Sonoranths – no restriction
Know this. Two vs mitten (the T) in two is much harder than in the middle of the word mitten Each phneam /a/, /b/, /c/… each has allophones, so each is like a family of sounds. Sets of twins or tripplits.
