Abhay Phonetics

Phonetics is the study of speech sounds and their production, transmission, and perception. It has three main areas of study: articulatory phonetics examines speech production; acoustic phonetics studies speech transmission; and auditory phonetics looks at speech perception. The field has been studied since ancient times, but modern phonetics began with Alexander Bell's system for writing down speech sounds in 1867. The International Phonetic Alphabet provides a standardized representation of speech sounds and is used widely in linguistics, language teaching, and other fields.

PHONETICS

Phonetics (from the Greek , ph n , "sound, voice") is a branch of linguistics that comprises the study of the sounds of human speech. It is concerned with the physical properties of speech sounds (phones): their physiological production, acoustic properties, auditory perception, and neurophysiologic status.

The study of phonetics is a multiple layered subject of linguistics that focuses on speech. In this field of research there are three basic areas of study. Articulatory phonetics- the study of the production of speech by the articulatory and vocal tract by the speaker Acoustic phonetics- the study of the transmission of speech from the speaker to the listener Auditory Phonetics- the study of phonetics of the reception and perception of speech by the listener

History Phonetics was studied as early as 500 BC in ancient India, with Panini's account of the place and manner of articulation of consonants in his 5th century BC treatise on Sanskrit. The major Indic alphabet today order their consonants according to P ini's classification. The ancient Greek are credited as the first to base a writing system on a phonetic alphabet. Modern phonetics began with Alexander Bell, whose visible speech (1867) introduced a system of precise notation for writing down speech sounds.

The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is an alphabetic system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet. It was devised by the International Phonetic Association as a standardized representation of the sounds of spoken language. The IPA is used by Foreign students and teachers, linguists, speech pathologists and therapists, singers, actors, lexicographers, artificial language enthusiasts, and translators. IPA can be dated back to 1888.
