Impressionistic phonetic transcription: a method of writing down speech sounds in order to capture what is said and how it is pronounced. Each symbol represents one sound (phone) and only one symbol for each sound. If two sounds can distinguish one word from another, they should be represented by different symbols. If two sounds very similar and their differences arise only from context they are in, we should be able to represent that similarity. Same sound can be spelled using different letters. Sometimes the same letters can represent different sounds. Sometimes a single sound represented by a combination of letters. Sometimes a single letter represents a combination of sounds. Sometimes a letter represents no sound at all. [ ] to represent a speech sound.
