Слайд 4The phonetic system of a language
“To speak any language a
person must know nearly 100 % of its phonetics, while
only 50-90% of its grammar and 1% of the vocabulary may be sufficient.”
Alfred Charles Gimson,
an English phonetician
Слайд 5The phonetic system of a language
Phonetics has a long history.
It was known to ancient Greeks and Hindus. But as
a science it began to develop in the second half of the 19th century.
Phonetics is closely connected with lexicology, grammar and stylistics as (т.к.) the phonetic system of a language, its vocabulary and grammar constitute one indivisible whole.

correct pronunciation of homographs
bow /bou/ - bow /bau/
row /rou/ - row /rau/
wind /wind/ - wind /waind/
sewer /ˈsɜʊə/ - sewer /ˈsjuə/
Слайд 10The connection of phonetics with other branches of linguistics
Stylistics:
intonation and
its components
repetition of words, phrases and sounds
Alliteration – the
repetition of identical or similar sounds:
There are twelve months in all the year,
As I hear many men say,
But the merriest month in all the year
Is the merry month of May.
Слайд 11The connection of phonetics with non-linguistic sciences
Phonetics is closely connected
with
psychology.
Слайд 12The connection of phonetics with non-linguistic sciences
Acoustic phonetics is connected
with physics and mathematics. Articulatory phonetics is connected with physiology,
anatomy, and anthropology. Historical phonetics is connected with general history of the people whose language is studied; it is also connected with archaeology. Phonology is connected with communication (information) theory, mathematics, and statistics.

Слайд 14The branches of phonetics
When the phonetic system is studied in
its static form at a particular period of time ,
i.e. synchronically, we deal with descriptive phonetics.
When the system is studied in its historical development, i.e. diachronically, we speak about historical phonetics.

Phonetics
articulatory auditory
acoustic phonology
Слайд 16The branches of phonetics
articulatory phonetics
deals with the configurations
of the vocal tract used to produce speech sounds; studies
the physiological mechanisms of speech production
Слайд 18The branches of phonetics
acoustic phonetics
deals with measuring and analyzing
the physical properties of sound waves we produce when we
speak.
Слайд 19The branches of phonetics
auditory phonetics
is concerned with the hearing
of speech sounds and with speech perception.
Слайд 20The branches of phonetics
Functional phonetics or phonology
deals with
the functioning aspect
of phenomena. The aim of phonology is to discover those
segmental and prosodic features that have a differential value in a language.

Scope (сфера, область действия)
Phonetics
What are the sounds?
How are
they made in the mouth?
Phonology
How are sounds systematically
organized in a language?
How do sounds combine to form words?
How are they categorized by, memorized and interpreted in the mind of speakers?

Phonetics
theoretical
practical
(applied)
Слайд 23The branches of phonetics
Theoretical phonetics of a particular language applies
the theories formulated by general phonetics (the phoneme theory, the
theory of syllable formation, theories of stress, intonation).
By practical (applied) phonetics we mean all the practical applications of phonetics (in teaching foreign languages, logopedics, telephony, etc.)
