    Study Notes

    Phonetics I-II-III

    • Phonetics is the scientific study of human language, focusing on the physical properties of speech sounds.
    • It's divided into phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.
    • Phonetics considers the formal properties of language, including word structure (morphology), sentence structure (syntax), speech sounds, and the relationships between them (phonetics and phonology), and meaning in language (semantics and pragmatics).
    • Speech production involves selecting words, organizing grammatical structure, articulating the sounds using the vocal apparatus, and can be spontaneous, reactive, or imitative.
    • Speech production occurs in three levels: conceptualization, formulation, and articulation.
    • Conceptualization is the cognitive process of forming the intended message.
    • Formulation involves turning thoughts into linguistic forms (grammatical structure and selecting appropriate words).
    • Articulation involves the creation of the sounds using the vocal apparatus.
    • Articulation includes precise movements of the tongue, lips, jaw, and soft palate to produce sounds.
    • Articulation is essential for clear communication.
    • Speech mechanism involves the respiratory, phonatory, resonating, and articulatory systems.
    • The respiratory system provides the airflow for speech.
    • The phonatory system produces sounds through vibrations of the vocal cords.
    • The resonating system amplifies the sounds using the pharynx, oral cavity, and nasal cavity.
    • The articulatory system shapes the sounds through the movements of the tongue, lips, jaw, palate, etc.
    • Phonetics is important for learning a language.
    • Understanding the sounds of a language greatly enhances the ability to understand and produce the language itself.
    • By understanding how sounds are combined, learners can improve their fluency and accuracy.
    • Phonetics also enables students to distinguish between sounds, understand the correct pronunciation of sounds, and learn to spell words correctly by using the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet).
    • Phonetics is essential for diagnostics involving issues of communication.
    • Language acquisition, therapy, and forensic examinations are directly related to the field of phonetics.

    Phonetics and Phonology

    • Phonology and phonetics both concern sounds of language; however, they are quite different.
    • Phonetics is the study of sounds' physical properties and acoustic properties (production and transmission).
    • Phonology studies the abstract, cognitive aspects of sounds within a language (organization and systems of sounds in language).
    • In terms of similarities, both phonology and phonetics deal with the properties of speech sounds and utilize similar methods of analysis.
    • Differences are in the approach. Phonetics focuses on physical features & phonology focuses on the functional use of sounds in a language.

    What do Phoneticians Study?

    • Phonetics is about examining speech sounds for their production, transmission, and reception.
    • This involves analyzing acoustic and articulatory phonetics
    • Acoustic phonetics examines physical characteristics, (frequency and duration of sound waves).
    • Articulatory phonetics studies the physical processes in producing speech.
    • Examines how our vocal tracts produce speech sounds.
