  3. WHAT IS PHONETICS?  Phonetics is the study of the study of the production, perception, and physical properties of speech sounds It is concerned with how speech sounds are generated in the human vocal tract, why they are different to a listener, and how a listener is able to recognize them. It also deals with actual and physical characteristics of sounds; for example, how different or similar clear [l] and dark [] are in English, how different or similar initial [t] as in top and [t] after [s] as in stop are, etc.
