What is Phonetics?
Fundamental branch of linguistics, is the study of the sounds made by the human voice in speech. Phonetics has three main branches/divisions.
1) Articulatory Phonetics: describes how speech sounds are produced or articulated in various parts of the mouth and throat.
2) Acoustic Phonetics : investigates how speech sounds ate transmitted as vibrations in the air.
3) Auditory Phonetics: study of how speech sounds are perceived or received by the hearer.
Variation in English pronunciation
Spoken English has wide variation in its pronunciation; i.e. not all native speakers of English pronounce English sounds and words in exactly the same way.
This is because English is spoken almost in all continents.
Although there are many dialects of English, the following are usually used as standard accents:
• Received Pronunciation (RP) ( for Britain )
• General American ( for the United States )
• General Australian ( for Australia )
