About this document
Understanding Phonetics and Its Branches by Stivmar Sun is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Phonetics is the study of speech sounds and their production and perception. There are three main branches: acoustic phonetics studies sound waves, auditory phonetics studies sound perception, and articulatory phonetics studies mouth movements. Phoneticians use labels to describe sounds in terms of place of articulation in the mouth, manner of production, and whether the vocal cords vibrate or not. The International Phonetic Alphabet provides symbols for representing sounds in different languages.
