It is the branch of linguistics that focuses on
the study of speech sounds, also known as
phonemes. It is concerned with
understanding the physical properties of
speech sounds, how they are produced by the
human vocal tract, how they are transmitted
as sound waves, and how they are perceived
by the human ear.
PhonetiCs
Articulatory phonetics: the production of speech
sounds
Acoustic phonetics: the physical way speech sounds
travel
Auditory phonetics: the way people perceive speech
sounds
Phonetics studies speech sounds from different
viewpoints and is broken down into three categories
that are studied in linguistics:
1.
2.
3.
PhonetiCs
It is a written representation of
spoken language that uses a
standardized set of symbols to
depict the precise pronunciation
of words or utterances
Phonetic TRANSCRIPTION
The International Phonetic
Alphabet (IPA) is a system of
phonetic notation that represents
the sounds of spoken language. It
includes symbols for consonants,
vowels, and other speech sounds.

Consonants
A consonant is a speech sound made by
either completely or partially obstructing
breath. This is done by creating contact
between two articulators. Articulators are
vocal organs such as the tongue, lips, teeth,
hard and soft palate. These are what we
use to create and manipulate speech
sounds.

/b/ - “bat”
/t/ - “top”
/d/ - “dog”
/k/ - “cat”

Vowel sounds
It is a diacritic mark used to
represent a long vowel sound

particular vowel is pronounced
for a longer duration than a
regular, short vowel. This
notation is especially common
in the International Phonetic
Alphabet (IPA).
/i:/ - “see"
/u:/ - “food"
/a:/ - “cart”
/ɔ:/ - “port”
/ʌ/ - “cup”

diphthongs are represented with
specific symbols.
