Phonetics, the study of speech sounds and their physiological production and acoustic qualities. It deals with the configurations of the vocal tract used to produce speech sounds (articulatory phonetics), the acoustic properties of speech sounds (acoustic phonetics), and the manner of combining sounds so as to make syllables, words, and sentences (linguistic phonetics).

linguistics: Phonetics and dialectology

Many other interesting and important developments occurred in 19th-century linguistic research, among them work in the areas of phonetics and dialectology. Research in both these fields was promoted by the Neogrammarians' concern with sound change and by their insistence that prehistoric developments...

Articulatory phonetics

The traditional method of describing speech sounds is in terms of the movements of the vocal organs that produce them. The main structures that are important in the production of speech are the lungs and the respiratory system, together with the vocal organs shown in Figure 1. The airstream from the lungs passes between the vocal cords, which are two small muscular folds located in the larynx at the top of the windpipe. The space between the vocal cords is known as the glottis. If the vocal cords are apart, as they are normally when breathing out, the air from the lungs will have a relatively free passage into the pharynx (see Figure 1) and the mouth. But if the vocal cords are adjusted so that there is a narrow passage between them, the airstream will cause them to be sucked together. As soon as they are together there will be no flow of air, and the pressure below them will be built up until they are blown apart again. The flow of air between them will then cause them to be sucked together again, and the vibratory cycle will continue. Sounds produced when the vocal cords are vibrating are said to be voiced, as opposed to those in which the vocal cords are apart, which are said to be voiceless.

The air passages above the vocal cords are known collectively as the vocal tract. For phonetic purposes they may be divided into the oral tract within the mouth and the pharynx, and the nasal tract within the nose. Many speech sounds are characterized by movements of the lower articulators- i.e., the tongue or the lower lip-toward the upper articulators within the oral tract. The upper surface includes several important structures from the point of view of speech production, such as the upper lip and the upper teeth; Figure 1 illustrates most of the terms that are commonly used. The alveolar ridge is a small protuberance just behind the upper front teeth that can easily be felt with the tongue. The major part of the roof of the mouth is formed by the hard palate in the front, and the soft palate or velum at the back. The soft palate is a muscular flap that can be raised so as to shut off the nasal tract and prevent air from going out through the nose. When it is raised so that the soft palate is pressed against the back wall of the pharynx there is said to be a velic closure. At the lower end of the soft palate is a small hanging appendage known as the uvula.

As may be seen from Figure 1, there are also specific names for different parts of the tongue. The tip and blade are the most mobile parts. Behind the blade is the so-called front of the tongue; it is actually the forward part of the body of the tongue and lies underneath the hard palate when the tongue is at rest. The remainder of the body of the tongue may be divided into the centre, which is partly beneath the hard palate and partly beneath the soft palate; the back, which is beneath the soft palate; and the root, which is opposite the back wall of the pharynx.

The major division in speech sounds is that between vowels and consonants. Phoneticians have found it difficult to give a precise definition of the articulatory distinction between these two classes of sounds. Most authorities would agree that a vowel is a sound that is produced without any major constrictions in the vocal tract, so that there is a relatively free passage for the air. It is also syllabic. This description is unsatisfactory in that no adequate definition of the notion syllabic has yet been formulated.

Consonants

In the formation of consonants, the airstream through the vocal tract is obstructed in some way. Consonants can be classified according to the place and manner of this obstruction. Some of the possible places of articulation are indicated by the arrows going from one of the lower articulators to one of the upper articulators in Figure 1. The principal terms that are required in the description of English articulation, and the structures of the vocal tract that they involve are: bilabial, the two lips; dental, tongue tip or blade and the upper front teeth; alveolar, tongue tip or blade and the teeth ridge; retroflex, tongue tip and the back part of the teeth ridge; palato-alveolar, tongue blade and the back part of the teeth ridge; palatal, front of tongue and hard palate; and velar, back of tongue and soft palate. The additional places of articulation shown in Figure 1 are required in the description of other languages. Note that the terms for the various places of articulation denote both the portion of the lower articulators ( i.e., lower lip and tongue) and the portion of the upper articulatory structures that are involved. Thus velar denotes a sound in which the back of the tongue and the soft palate are involved, and retroflex implies a sound involving the tip of the tongue and the back part of the alveolar ridge. If it is necessary to distinguish between sounds made with the tip of the tongue and those made with the blade, the terms apical (tip) and laminal (blade) may be used.

There are six basic manners of articulation that can be used at these places of articulation: stop, fricative, approximant, trill, tap, and lateral.

Phonology is the study of the patterns of sounds in a language and across languages. Put more formally, phonology is the study of the categorical organisation of speech sounds in languages; how speech sounds are organised in the mind and used to convey meaning. In this section of the website, we will describe the most common phonological processes and introduce the concepts of underlying representations for sounds versus what is actually produced, the surface form.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Phonology is the study of the sound system of a language. A language's sound system is made up of a set of phonemes which are used according to phonological rules.

In this article, we'll look at:

What phonology is

Phonological awareness

Phonology in the English language and

Examples of phonology in linguistics
Assimilation, dissimilation, insertion, and deletion

Phonology meaning

describes sound contrasts which create differences in meaningwithin a language. Phonological systemsare made up of phonemes (we'll come back to phonemes in a bit), and each language has its own phonological system. This means that the study of phonology is language-specific.

Phonological awarenessis the ability to be aware of, identify and manipulate phonological units ( phonemes) in elements of spoken language such as syllables and words.

Symbols from theInternational Phonetic Alphabet(IPA)are used to represent phonemes. The IPA is a system of symbols where each possible speech sound has a representative written symbol.

Minimal pairs

In Phonology, you can use minimal pairs to distinguish phonemes from each other.

is when two words have different meanings but only one sound (or phonemic) difference.

As you can see, these words are very similar, but each pair contains one phonemic difference which creates different meanings.

The rules for identifying minimal pairs are:

Dialects and accents of English

Accent and dialect are a result of all these factors.

Dialects are variations of the same language spoken by people in particular areas or social groups. Dialects differ in pronunciation, grammatical patterns, and vocabulary. It is important to remember that whilst these factors impact speech, people can have different dialects and speak the same language.

For example, Scottish, Irish, Yorkshire, Cockney, Welsh English, may all be said to be dialects of the UK English language.

Regional dialectsmay differ in their pronunciation or use particular grammatical patterns or vocabulary. For example, the British English dialect does not pronounce the /r/ in words like 'car' [ka:] whereas the American English dialect often pronounces the /r/. This is called rhoticity.

Accentshave developed because of regional phonological differences. Sometimes accents are based on the pronunciation of words by non-native speakers. A foreign accentis marked by the phonology of other languages.

For example,

The word potato: - In British English it is pronounced po-tayh-to[pəˈteɪtəʊ].- In American English it is pronouncedpo-tay-to[pəˈteɪˌtoʊ].

The word laughter:- In British English it is pronounced la-fte[ˈlɑːftə].- In American English it is pronouncedla-fter[ˈlæftər].

The word banana:- In British English it is pronounced be-na-na[bəˈnɑːnə].- In American English it is pronouncedbe-nah-na[bəˈnænə].

Phonotactics

One of the branches of phonology is phonotactics.

Phonotactics is the study of the rules governing the possiblephonemesequences in a language.

- Oxford English Dictionary

Within phonotactics, we can look at syllables. A syllable is a phonological unit that involves one or more phonemes. Syllables can show us how phonemes appear in particular sequences.

Each syllable has:

Let's have a look at an example:

In the word cat/kaet/, /k/ is the onset, /ae/ is the nucleus and /t/ is the coda.

These are the rules concerningphonemesequences in syllables:

Thenucleusof a syllable is essential for the word and is the vowel in the middle of the syllable.

Theonsetis not always present but you can find it before the nucleus if it is.

Thecodais also not always present but you can find it after the nucleus if it is.

These phonotactic rules are specific to the English language as phonology is language-specific. Other languages will have different phonotactic rules.

Phonology in the English language

As we've said, each language has its own phonology. That is, its own set of phonemes. Thesephonemesets are often shown through phonemic charts.

A phonemic chartfor a language contains all of the phonemes that exist in that language. It is much more specific than the IPA ( International Phonetic Alphabet) chart which includes all possible speech sounds across all languages.

Phonological rules

Each language's phonological system contains rules which govern the pronunciation of phonemes.

Phonological rules are related to the spoken or written principles which control the changes of sounds during speech.

These describe the process of articulation (how a speaker produces speech sounds stored in the brain).

Phonological rules help us understandwhich sounds change, what they change to, andwhere the change happens.

Phonological rules can be divided into four types: assimilation, dissimilation, insertion, and deletion.

Examples of phonology in linguistics

We'll now have a look at the phonological rules: assimilation, dissimilation, insertion and deletion. Examples of these rules occurring in the English language are given below.

Assimilation

Assimilation is the process of changing one feature of a sound to make it similar to another.

This rule can be applied to the English plural system:

The -s can change fromvoicedtovoicelessdepending on whether the preceding consonant is voiced or unvoiced.

So, the English plural -s can be pronounced in different ways depending on the word it is part of, for example:

In the wordsnakes, the letter "s" is pronounced /s/.

In the wordbaths, the letter "s" is pronounced /z/.

In the worddresses, the letter "s" is pronounced /ɪz/.

Dissimilation

Dissimilation is the process of changing one feature of a sound to make it different.

This type of rule makes two sounds more distinguishable. It can help non-native speakers to pronounce words.

The pronunciation of the wordchimney[ˈʧɪmni] as chimley [ˈʧɪmli], with the change of [n] to an [l].

Insertion

Insertion is the process of adding an extra sound between two others.

For example, we usually insert a voiceless stop between a nasal and a voiceless fricative to make it easier for English speakers to pronounce a word.

In the word strength /strɛŋθ/, we add the sound "k" and it becomes /strɛŋkθ/.

In the word hamster /hæmstə/, we add the sound "p" and it becomes /hæmpstə/.

Deletion

Deletion is the process of not pronouncing a sound(consonant, vowel, or whole syllable) present in a word or phrase, to make it easier to say.

For example:

In the phrase " you and me" [ju: ənd mi:] it is possible not to say the sound /d/.

This also occurs in some words:

The field of phonetics is traditionally divided into three sub-disciplines based on the research questions involved such as how humans plan and execute movements to produce speech (articulatory phonetics), how various movements affect the properties of the resulting sound (acoustic phonetics), or how humans convert sound waves to linguistic information (auditory phonetics). Traditionally, the minimal linguistic unit of phonetics is the phone—a speech sound in a language which differs from the phonological unit of phoneme; the phoneme is an abstract categorization of phones.

Articulatory phonetics

Articulatory phonetics is:

Articulatory phonetics is concerned with the way sounds are created and aims to explain how we move our speech organs ( articulators) to produce certain sounds. Generally speaking, articulatory phonetics looks at how aerodynamic energy (airflow through the vocal tract) is transformed into acoustic energy (sound).

Humans can produce sound simply by expelling air from the lungs; however, we can produce (and pronounce) a large number of different sounds by moving and manipulating our speech organs (articulators).

Our speech organs are:

Lips

Teeth

Tongue

Palate

Uvula (the teardrop-shaped soft tissue that hangs at the back of your throat)

Nasal and oral cavities

Vocal cords

Pronunciation in phonetics

Usually, two speech organs make contact with each other to affect the airflow and create a sound. The point where the two speech organs make the most contact is named the place of articulation. The way in which the contact forms and then releases is named the manner of articulation.

Let's look at the [ p] sound as an example.

To produce the [p] sound, we join our lips together tightly ( place of articulation). This causes a slight build-up of air, which is then released when the lips part ( manner of articulation), creating a burst of sound associated with the letter P in English.

In English, there are two main sounds we create: consonants and.
Consonants
Let's take a closer look at the production of consonant and vowel sounds.

Consonants

The study of the production of consonant sounds can be divided into three areas: voice, place of articulation, and manner of articulation.

Voice

In articulatory phonetics, voicerefers to the presence or absence of vibration of the vocal cords.

There are two types of sound:

Voiceless sounds - These are made when the air passes through the vocal folds, with no vibration during the production of sounds, like [s] as insip.

Voiced sounds - These are made when the air passes through the vocal folds, with vibration during the production of sounds like [z] as inzip.

The place of articulation refers to the point where the construction of airflow takes place.

There are seven different types of sounds based on the place of articulation:

Bilabial - Sounds produced with both lips, such as [p], [b], [m].

Labiodentals - Sounds produced with the upper teeth and the lower lip, such as [f] and [v].

Interdental - Sounds produced with the tongue in between the upper and lower teeth, such as [θ] (the 'th' sound inthink).

Alveolar - Sounds produced with the tongue at or near the ridge right behind upper front teeth, such as [t], [d], [s].

Palatal - Sounds produced at the hard palate or the roof of the mouth, such as [j], [ʒ] (measure), [ʃ] (ould).

Velars -Sounds produced at the velum or soft palate, such as [k] and [g].

Glottals - Sounds produced at the glottis or the space between the vocal folds, such as [h] or the glottal stop sound [ʔ] (as inuh-oh).

Manner of Articulation

Manner of articulation examines the arrangement and interaction between the articulators (speech organs) during the production of speech sounds.

Speech sounds can be divided into five different types based on the manner of articulation.

Plosive (aka stops) - sounds made by the obstruction and release of the air stream from the lungs. Plosive sounds are harsh sounds, such as [p, t, k, b, d, g].

Fricative - sounds formed when two articulators come close but don't touch, forming a small gap in the vocal tract. Since the airflow is obstructed, this small gap generates audible friction, such as [f, v, z, ʃ, θ].

Affricate sounds- these sounds are the result of plosive and fricative sounds happening in rapid succession. For example, the affricate [tʃ] represents [t] plus [ʃ], just as the affricate [dʒ] results from [d] plus [ʒ]. The first of these is unvoiced and the second is voiced.

Nasal sounds- produced when the air passes through the nasal cavity out through the mouth,such as [m, n, ŋ].

Approximant -sounds made with partial obstruction of the airflow from the mouth. This means some sounds are coming out of the nose and some from the mouth, such as [l, ɹ, w, j].

Vowels

(Cambridge Learner's Dictionary)

Linguists describe vowel sounds according tothree criteria: Height, Backnessand Roundness.

Height

Height refers to how high or low the tongue is in the mouth when producing a vowel. For example, consider the vowel sounds, [ɪ] (as in sit) and[a] (as in cat). If you say both of these vowelsin succession, you should feel your tongue going up and down.

In terms of height, vowelsare either considered: high vowels, mid vowels, or low vowels.

Backness

Backness focuses on the horizontal movement of the tongue. Consider the two vowels[ɪ] (as in sit) and[u] (as in umbrella)and pronounce them one after the other. Your tongue should be moving forward and backwards.

In terms of backness, vowelsare either considered: f ront vowels, central vowels, or back vowels.

[i:] as infeel, is an example of afrontvowel.

[ə] as inagain, is an example of acentralvowel.

[u:] as inboot, is an example of abackvowel.

Roundedness

Roundedness refers to whether or not the lips are rounded or unrounded when producing the vowel sound. When we pronounce rounded vowels, our lips are open and extended to some degree. An example of a rounded vowel is [ʊ] as in put.

When we pronounce unrounded vowels,our lips are spread and the corners of the mouth are pulled back to some degree. An example of an unrounded vowel is [ɪ] as in bi t.

study of how speech sounds travel , from the moment they are produced by the speaker until they reach the listener's ear.

When sound is produced, it creates a sound wavethat travels through the acoustic medium (this is usually the air, but it could also be water, wood, metal etc., as sound can travel through anything except a vacuum!). When the sound wave reaches our eardrums, it causes them to vibrate; our auditory system then converts these vibrations into neural impulses. We experience these neural impulses as sound.

Sound wave - A pressure wave that causes particles in the surrounding acoustic medium to vibrate.

A sound wave includes the different properties amplitude, distance and wavelength.

Wavelength

The wavelength refers to the distance between the crests (highest points) of the sound wave. This indicates the distance the sound travels before it repeats itself.

Period

The period of a sound wave refers to the amount of time it takes for the sound to create a complete wave cycle.

Amplitude

The amplitude of a sound wave is represented in height. When the sound is very loud, the amplitude of the sound wave is high. On the other hand, when the sound is quiet, the amplitude is low.

Frequency

The frequency refers to the number of waves produced per second. In general, low-frequency sounds produce sound waves less often than high-frequency sounds. The frequency of sound waves is measured in Hertz (Hz).

Auditory phonetics

Auditory phonetics is:

The study of how people hear speech sounds. It is concerned with speech perception.

This branch of phonetics studies the reception and response to speech sounds, mediated by the ears, the auditory nerves, and the brain. While the properties of acoustic phonetics are objectively measurable, the auditory sensations examined in auditory phonetics are more subjective and are typically studied by asking listeners to report on their perceptions. Thus, auditory phonetics studies the relationship between speech and the listener's interpretation.

Let's look at the basics of how our auditory and hearing system works.

As sound waves travel through the acoustic medium, they cause the molecules around them to vibrate. When these vibrating molecules reach your ear, they cause the eardrum to vibrate too. This vibration travels from the eardrum to three small bones within the middle ear: the mallet, the incus,and the stirrup.

The vibration is carried to the inner ear and into the cochlea via the stirrup.

The cochlea is a small snail shell-shaped chamber within the inner ear, which contains the sensory organ of hearing.

The cochlea converts the vibrations into neural signals which are then transmitted to the brain. It is in the brain where the vibrations are identified as actual sound.

Auditory phonetics can be particularly useful in the medical field as not everyone can easily decipher different sounds. For instance, some people suffer from Auditory Processing Disorder (APD), which is a disconnect between hearing and processing sounds. For example, if you asked a person who suffers from Auditory Processing Disorder, " Can you close the door?", they may hear something like " Can you doze the poor? " instead, as the disorder makes it more difficult to decipher sounds.

Phonetic symbols

To transcribe phonetic sounds, we use theInternational Phonetic Alphabet.

TheInternational Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a system for representing phonetic sounds (phones) with symbols. It helps us transcribe and analyse speech sounds.

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) was developed by the language teacher Paul Passy in 1888 and is a system of phonetic symbols based primarily on Latin script. The chart was initially developed as a way of accurately representing speech sounds.

The IPA aims to represent all qualities of speech and sounds present in language, including phones, phonemes, intonation, gapsbetween sounds, and syllables. The IPA symbols consist of letter-like symbols, diacritics, or both.

It is important to note that the IPA is not specific to any particular language and can be used globally to help language learners.

The IPA was created to help describe sounds (phones), not phonemes; however, the chart is often used for phonemic transcription. The IPA itself is big. Therefore, when studying the English language, we would most likely use a phonemic chart (based on the IPA), which only represents the 44 English phonemes.
Phones vs phonemes -
Transcribing phones

When we describe phones, we use narrow transcription (to include as many aspectsof a specific pronunciation as possible) and place the letters and symbols between two square brackets ( [ ] ). Phonetic (narrow) transcriptions give us lots of information about how to physically produce sounds.

Let's take a look at some more examples of phonetic transcription.

Transcribing phonemes

When describing phonemes, we use broad transcription(only mentioning the most notable and necessary sounds) and place the letters and symbols between two slashes (/ / ). For example, the English word apple would look like this /æpəl/.

Here are some further examples of phonemic transcriptions

As you can see, both transcriptions are very similar, as they follow the IPA. However, look closely, and you will see some diacritics in the phonetic transcriptions that do not appear in the phonemic transcriptions. These diacritics provide a few more details about how to pronounce the actual sounds.

Why do we need the International Phonetic Alphabet?

In English, the same letters in a word can represent different sounds, or have no sound at all. Therefore, the spellingof a word is not always a reliable representation of how to pronounce it. The IPA shows the letters in a word as sound-symbols, allowing us to write a word as it sounds, rather than as it is spelt. For example, tulip becomes /ˈtjuːlɪp/.

The IPA is very helpful when studying a second language. It can help learners understand how to pronounce words correctly, even when the new language uses a different alphabet to their native language.

Phonetics - Key takeaways

Phonetics studies speech from different viewpoints and is broken down into three categories: Articulatory phonetics, Acoustic phonetics, and Auditory phonetics.

Articulatory phoneticsis concerned with the way speech sounds are created and aims to explain how we move our speech organs ( articulators) to produce certain sounds.

Acoustic phoneticsis the study of the way speech sounds travel , from the moment they are produced by the speaker until they reach the listener's ear.

Phonetics is known as the linguistic science that deals with the study of sounds in their physical realization, their different characteristics and particularities. The root of the word phonetics is the Greek term 'phono', which means 'sound' or 'voice'. Phonetics uses a set of symbols called phonetic alphabets to represent sounds with scientific accuracy, and sometimes coincide with the usual alphabet. The sounds are called allophones and are represented in square brackets ( [ ] ).

Phonetics:
Phonetics is a branch of linguistics that focuses on the production and classification of the world’s speech sounds.  The production of speech looks at the interaction of different vocal organs, for example the lips, tongue and teeth, to produce particular sounds.  By classification of speech, we focus on the sorting of speech sounds into categories which can be seen in what is called the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
Phonetics looks at the physical production of sounds, focusing on which vocal organs are interacting with each other and how close these vocal organs are in relation to one another. Phonetics also looks at the concept of voicing, occurring at the pair of muscles found in your voice box, also known as the Adam’s apple.
