Document Summary

Introduction to phonetics anatomy and speech sound classi cation. The study of the sound of speech: perception, production (how is speech made by the articulators), and classi cation (sounds fall into categories, which is important to understand how speech production can go wrong in developmental disorders). Anatomy and physiology of the speech production system. Phonetic classi cation based on articulation: what are all the different kinds of sounds that can go into speech. A lot of sounds that we produce don"t go into speech but we can still produce them. Phonetics is phonetic transcription using the ipa international phonetic alphabet. This is a system for classifying the sounds of speech. Our brains will make us hear things that are not there we need to overcome this. We want to hear the sounds of speech, not what they are conveying. Learn to use transcription to explore dialectal variation in speech and disordered speech.
