introduction: • Cough – pharmacy – sigh – know – car • What is phonetics? • Phonetics is the general study of the characteristics of speech sounds.
Articulatory phonetics: the study of how speech sounds are made or articulated. Acoustic phonetics: the study of the physical properties of speech as sound waves in the air. Auditory phonetics: deals with the perception, via the air, of speech sounds.
Voiced and voiceless sounds: Voiceless: When the vocal cords are spread apart, the air from the lungs passes between them unimpeded. Voiced: When the vocal cords are drawn together, the air from the lungs repeatedly pushes them apart as it passes through, creating a vibration effect.
