Speech is primary way humans express themselves through language. Phonetics branch of linguistics that examines the inventory and structure of: study of the sounds of the human language. Phones/speech sounds wide variety of sounds displayed by human sounds of speech languages. Very wide range of sounds found in human language, any human (child or adult) can learn to produce any human speech sound. 2 approaches to study phonetics: articulatory phonetics analyzing physiological mechanisms of speech production, acoustic phonetics measuring and analyzing physical properties of sound waves we produce when we speak. One-to-one correspondence between sound and symbol allows linguists to transcribe languages consistently and accurately. Ipa represents speech in the form of segments individual phones. Segments are produced by coordinating a number of individual articulatory gestures (jaw movement, lip shape, tongue placement) Sound produced when air set in motion.
