♣ Phonetics
✍️ Phonetics is the branch of linguistics that examines sounds in a language.
✍️ Phonetics describes these sounds using the symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
✍️ The IPA can be helpful for studying a language, especially languages that use letters that are silent or have multiple pronunciations.
♣ Phonetics is divided into three types according to the production (articulatory), transmission (acoustic) and perception (auditive) of sounds.
✍️ Three categories of sounds must be recognised at the outset:
♦phones (human sounds),
♦phonemes (units which distinguish meaning in a language),
♦allophones (non-distinctive units).
