Study Notes
Phonetics
- Articulatory phonetics focuses on the sender (speaker) and the articulation of sounds.
- Acoustic phonetics deals with the physical properties of sound, measured in hertz, and can be analyzed using software like Praat.org.
Types of Phonetics
- There are three kinds of phonetics: articulatory, acoustic, and auditory phonetics.
Auditory Phonetics
- Auditory phonetics relates to the receiver (listener) and involves the decoding of audio signals.
- It involves mental matching activity, where the listener matches sounds to mental representations, based on probabilities.
Note: The text appears to be incomplete, and some sentences seem to be cut off. I've tried to make sense of the available information and summarized it accordingly.
Kinds of Phonetics
- Articulatory phonetics focuses on the production of sounds by the speaker, involving articulation, and is the most relevant aspect for this class.
Types of Phonetics
- There are three main kinds of phonetics: Articulatory phonetics, Acoustic phonetics, and Auditory phonetics.
Articulatory Phonetics
- Deals with the sender (speaker) aspect of phonetics.
Acoustic Phonetics
- Concerned with the physical properties of sounds as air waves.
- Sounds are measured in Hertz.
- Praat software (http://www.praat.org/) is used in acoustic phonetics.
Auditory Phonetics
- Involves the receiver (listener) aspect of phonetics.
- Deals with the impression upon the hearer (perception).
- Involves the decoding of audio impression, not a one-by-one process, but rather in 'chunks' of sounds.
- This process is driven by mental matching activity based on expectations (probabilities).
