 Devoicing, Aspiration, and Nasality
In this type of phonetic rule the object to the left of the arrow is a phonological segment input to a phonetics, and the environment is also a phonological description.
What this level must interface with is the input level of the phonetics, not its output or some intermediary stage.
It is definitely not the case that the observed output stands in a one-to-one relationship with the input; hence it is a mistake to take the output as a direct indicator of what is phonological.

 PHONETICS - LoveToKnow Article on PHONETICS
But the phonetic structure of French is so abnormal, so different from that of other languages, that the attempt to force a Broad Romic French notation on such a language as English is even more hopeless than it would be to reverse the process.
All the systems of phonetic notation hitherto considered I are based on the Roman alphabet.
Vowels are finished analogously, either by a gradual opening of the glottis, or by a cessation of aspiration while the glottis is still closed for voice.

We claimed that this tendency was evidence that either (1) phonology is not categorical and "aspiration" is not a binary process or (2) that phonology is categorical but phonetics does not feed directly from the output of phonology without being able to see any of the original input to the phonology.
The results propose the problem of the split view of systems of Phonology and Phonetics: the source of phonetics is not restricted to the output from phonology but comes from underlying representation.
That is important for the discussion of section 4 about discrete phonetic details in grammar.

The theoretical objectives include the definition of criteria on which phonetic and phonological typologies can be based, the analysis of the geographical distribution of dialect features with respect to traditional dialectological problems (e.g., are transitions between dialects abrupt or continuous?), and sociolinguistically oriented problems such as levelling tendencies in different age groups and sexes.
These criteria, which are distributional, semantic and phonetic, now form the cornerstones of a formal machinery designed to reduce language to a minimal set of elementary units.
Most phonetic analyses of languages other than Swedish referred to in this summary have been initiated on the basis of the IRIS database.

In Lesson 2, you learned about Phonetics, which deals with the physical, articulatory (physiological) and auditory properties of speech sounds.
  As you know by now, aspiration is not contrastive/distinctive in English; we can predict where it will occur, i.e., when the stop is in word initial position before a stressed vowel.

Every performance of every word by every member of the speech community helps teach phonetic interpretation, because it applies to the phonological system as a whole, rather than to any particular word.
Within the performance of a given word on a particular occasion, the (small) amount of information relevant to the identity of the word is clearly defined.

The h and f, which these languages have in the positions where we might normally expect aspirates, are not aspirates but spirants.

Phonetic features exist, similar to semantic features for words, and include voicing, nasality, labiality, continuance, and aspiration.

 Phonology - Biocrawler
Whereas phonetics is about the nature of sounds (or phones) per se, phonology describes the way sounds function within a given language.
This is one reason why most people have an accent when they attempt to speak a language that they did not grow up hearing; their brains sort the sounds they hear in terms of the phonemes of their own native language.
Thus, a phoneme in a particular language can be pronounced in many ways.

Since the number of consonants in the world's languages is much greater than the number of consonant letters in most alphabets, linguists have devised systems such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to assign a unique symbol to each possible consonant.
In fact, the Latin alphabet, which is used to write English, has fewer consonant letters than English has consonant sounds, so some letters represent more than one consonant, and digraphs like "sh" and "th" are used to represent some sounds.
