Phonology in General

This document provides an introduction to phonetics. It defines phonetics as the study of speech sounds, including how they are produced, perceived, and their physical properties. It discusses the subfields of phonetics, including articulatory, auditory, and acoustic phonetics. The history of phonetics is also summarized, noting the establishment of the International Phonetic Association in 1886 to study speech sounds. Phonetics is presented as a subfield of phonology for understanding human speech sounds and language pronunciation.

Chapter 1
Speaking is the delivery of language through the mouth. To speak, we create
sounds using many parts of our body, including the lungs, vocal tract, vocal chords,
tongue, teeth and lips. In phonetics and phonology, we can learn about that. And the
main reason is to explain how English is pronounced in the accent normally chosen as
the standard for people learning the English spoken in England. It is usual to present
this information in the context of a general theory about speech sounds and how they
are used in language this is theoretical context is called Phonetics and Phonology. The
theoretical material in the present course is necessary for anyone who needs to
understand the principles regulating they used of sounds spoken English .’’Peter
Roach.2009 : 1’’

Chapter 2
Definition

Phonetic is one of sub-linguistic that study about speech sound without


concern whether the sound has a function as a difference in meaning or
not.”Abdul Chaer,2012:102”

Phonetics is the study of speech sounds:

• how they are produced,

• how they are perceived,

• what their physical properties are.

History

In 19th century there is a organization that was created to learn about speech
sound, it called International Phonetic Association (IPA) in 1886, although the book
about speech sound is appear in 1569. Which is Ortographic by John Hart (1569), De
Grammatica Anglicona by John Wallis’s (1653), and The Essentials of Phonetics by
Alexandre Ellis (1848). “Masnur Muslich,2008:15-16’’

In England, study about speech sound start in 1907, because University of


London appreciate Daniel Jones (phonetic expert). And at 1932 in Amsterdam, there is
association phonetic international it called “International Congress of Phonetics
Sciences’’. Sign of phonetic was made in that association. “Masnur Muslich, 2008:16”
Subfields of Phonetics

 Articulatory Phonetics
The study of the production of speech sounds and also how speech
sounds is classified. The oldest form of phonetics in a phonetics articulatory more
explaining about the twenty five speech of sounds like lung, trachea, larynx,
vocal cord and etc.
A typical observation: “The sound at the beginning of the word ‘foot’ is
produced by bringing the lower lip into contact with the upper teeth and forcing
air out of the mouth.”

 Auditory Phonetics
The study of the perception of speech sounds. Related to neurology and
cognitive science.
A typical observation: “The sounds [s, S, z, Z] are called sibilants because
they share the property of sounding like a ‘hiss’.”

 Acoustic Phonetics
The study of the physical properties of speech souns. A relatively new
subfield (circa 50 years); uses sophisticated equipment (spectrograph, etc).
Related to acoustics (the subfield of physics dealing with sound waves like
vibration frequency, amplitude ,and intensity.)
A typical observation: “The strongest concentration of acoustic energy in
the sound [s] is above 4000 Hz.
Chapter 3
Based on the topic we can conclude that, phonetic is subfield of phonology which
is study about human speech sound and how to pronounce and also it teaching about
diction, speech-sounds of foreign languages, the quality of speech improvement for
those who have the problem of hearing.
