Phonetics

Phonetics (from the Greek: φωνή, phōnē, "sound, voice") is a branch of linguistics that comprises the study of the sounds of human speech, or—in the case of sign languages—the equivalent aspects of sign. It is concerned with the physical properties of speech sounds or signs (phones): their physiological production, acoustic properties, auditory perception, and neurophysiological status. Phonology, on the other hand, is concerned with the abstract, grammatical characterization of systems of sounds or signs.

The field of phonetics is a multiple layered subject of linguistics that focuses on speech. In the case of oral languages there are three basic areas of study:

  • Articulatory phonetics: the study of the production of speech sounds by the articulatory and vocal tract by the speaker
  • Acoustic phonetics: the study of the physical transmission of speech sounds from the speaker to the listener
  • Auditory phonetics: the study of the reception and perception of speech sounds by the listener

These areas are inter-connected through the common mechanism of sound, such as wavelength (pitch), amplitude, and harmonics.

How do you sing "Happy Birthday" in Portuguese? Phonetics for difficult words would be a plus.?
Q. I have to learn it for an extra credit project for my Portuguese class but I want to make sure I get it right, does anyone know? I need to use it for extra credit for a Portuguese class, and I'm curious if its to the same tune as the English version?
Asked by Joshua M - Mon Mar 10 20:53:56 2008 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Yes it's the same tune! Here are the phonetics: ParabA ns = pah-rah-bans Pra = prah VocA = Voe-ce* Nesta = Ne*-s-tah Data = dah-tah Querida = ke*-ree-dah Muitas = moo-ee-tah-s Felicidades = fe*-lee-see-dah-de*-s Muitos - moo-ee-toes Anos = Ahn-nos De = de* Vida = Vee-dah * this "e" sounds like "a" in "pay"

Can someone translate this hymn to the goddess Hestia into Greek with English Phonetics?
Q. Hestia, Thou who tends the holy house of Lord Apollo, Pythian, Shooting Far, Thou having hair that drips with silky oil, approach this house and enter, of one mind with All-Wise Zeus; and for my song grant grace.
Asked by a i "La Ilaha Illa"a - Sun Apr 12 03:09:11 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Why? If it's from a Greek source, use the source. If it's your own work, leave it in English. Why do you think sounding out words you don't understand would make a difference to a goddess? Even the catholic church gave up on Latin.
