 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.
The rise and decay of infiexions, and the development of grammatical forms generally, are, from the formal point of view, mainly phonetic problems; and phonetics enters more or less into every department of historical and comparative grammar.

 Kjell Gustafson's homepage - Phonetics
Phonetics can be defined, briefly, as the study of the sounds of human language, or of individual human languages.
phonetics in technological applications: phonetics plays an important role in many computer applications based on human language
This discipline has flourished in the second half of the 20th century, especially as a result of the many new analysis tools that have become available with recent computer techniques.

 Forensic Phonetics
Members undertaking forensic phonetic and acoustic analyses or operations of all kinds should state in their reports the methods they have followed and provide details of the equipment and computer programs used.
It has been well known for many years, for example, that individual words excised from the flow of speech have very low intelligibility, even when they are perfectly clear in context.
Linguistics includes the study of grammar, pronunciation, conversation, language learning, history and origins of language, similarities and differences between languages, language learning, and many other sub-disciplines.

 THE PLACE OF PHONETICS, PHONOLOGY AND TRANSCRIPTION IN LANGUAGE TEACHING
In a sense these are all obvious points, and the same kinds of arguments could be developed for many other aspects of language study and indeed for many other educational disciplines commonly considered important in the education of teachers.
In other words, in considering the preparation of our teachers, we have both to narrow the focus, towards more detailed phonetic and phonological knowledge, and to broaden the overall perspective, to take into account all the other factors, grammatical, semantic, discourse, and above all pragmatic factors involved in transactions, interactions and communications generally.
In addition to its traditional virtues of increasing awareness, of drawing attention to and helping identify difficulties, of helping us to analyse objectively the language we use, it becomes the yardstick by which we measure our achievement and define our aims.
