This document discusses the fields of phonetics and phonology and their applications. It describes phonetics as the study of speech sounds and how they are produced, transmitted, and received. Phonology focuses on how speech sounds change and behave in context. The document then lists several applications of phonetics and phonology, such as in speech language pathology, speech therapy, forensic linguistics, teaching English as a foreign language, speech technology, advertising, and more. It also provides references for further reading on the topics.

2.  Phonetics is the term for the description
and classification of speech sounds,

sounds change and behave when in a syllable,
word, or sentence, as opposed to when
spoken in isolation. It is further divided in four
branches.
 Segmental phonology
 Supra-segmental phonology
 Diachronic phonology
 Synchronic phonology

4.  The branches of Linguistics, Phonetics and
Phonology are the vast fields and has wide
scope in practical applications in different

5.  Clinical Phonetics is the applications of
phonetics to describe speech differences and

 Lecturer:To deliver high-quality publications in the
field of phonetics and phonological theory, variation in
English and other areas of your expertise.

9. Speech technology is a multi-disciplinary field. Its
main goal is to build systems.
 Speech synthesis: Systems for converting text
to speech or together with natural language
generation concept to speech.
 Speaker recognition: Systems for identifying
