PHONETICS
BRANCHES
Acoustic
transmission of speech sounds.
Pictures

Analysis Software
“audio spectrograph”
“phonetics analysis software.”
“waveform editor”
Auditory
perception of speech sounds.

TYPES
Segmentals
(sounds transcribed in discrete symbols).
IPA => 44 different sounds in British English.
Vowels
(open vocal tract)
Monophthongos
Diphthongos
Consonants
(constriction)
place
manner of articulation
voicing
Suprasegmentals
(properties transcribed in different ways)
Lenght
duration of segments within a given utterance
slowly
quickly
Intonation
sounds produced with different pitches
different intonation = different meanings
Stress
is more prominent syllable
full vowels
reduced vowels
Tone
is the pitch at which the syllables in a word are pronounced
contour level
either level
DEFINITION
Is the study of the minimal units that make up language.
ANATOMY (components)
vocal tract
voiced
sounds
vocal folds vibrating (generally vowels) (consonants)
voiceless
sounds
without vibration (consonants)
subglottal system
larynx
PHONOLOGY
STRUCTURE
PHONEMES
A set of speech sounds that are perceived to be variants of the same sound.
ALLOPHONES
The various ways that a phoneme is pronounced.
RULES
Dissimilation
To cause two close or adjacent sounds.
Deletion
To eliminate a sound that was present at the phonemic level.
Insertion
To cause a segment added to the phonetic form of a word.
Methatesis
To change the order of sounds.
Assimilation
To become more like a neighboring sound (or gesture).
Strengthening
To make sounds stronger.
DEFINITION
Is the study of how sounds are organized within a language and how they interact with each other.
