	Acoustic phonetics -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Acoustic phonetics is a subfield of (The branch of acoustics concerned with speech processes including its production and perception and acoustic analysis) phonetics which deals with (A remedy for hearing loss or deafness) acoustic aspects of ((language) communication by word of mouth) speech (The sudden occurrence of an audible event) sounds.
		Further advances in acoustic phonetics were made possible by the development of the (Electronic equipment that converts sound into electrical signals that can be transmitted over distances and then converts received signals back into sounds) telephone industry.
		On a theoretical level, acoustic phonetics really took off when it became clear that speech acoustic could be modeled in a way analogous to electical circuits.

	Phonetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		For instance, in Chinese characters, a phonetic refers to the portion of the character that hints at its pronunciation, while the radical refers to the portion that serves as a semantic hint.
		Characters featuring the same phonetic typically have similar pronunciations, but by no means are the pronunciations predictably determined by the phonetic due to the fact that pronunciations diverged over many centuries while the characters remained the same.
		Phonetics was studied as early as 2500 years ago in ancient India, where there existed numerous phonetically extremely accurate treatises on the orthoepy of Sanskrit and a Tamil grammar book Tolkāppiyam (c.

		In articulatory phonetics, speech sounds are classified by the relative positions of the vocal organs and by their effects on the air flow.
		Acoustic phonetics was dependent on articulatory phonetics in its early days because the physical data collected by scientific measurements seemed so unrelated to the known speech sounds at first that known articulatory observations were welcomed as a guiding hand.
		Finally, acoustic phonetics has taken off as a science in its own right, and it has produced results that are in considerable agreement with articulatory discoveries, particularly concerning the vowels.

		Phonetics studies speech sounds according to their production in the vocal organs (articulatory phonetics), their physical properties (acoustic phonetics), or their effect on the ear (auditory phonetics).
		All phonetics are interrelated, since human articulatory and auditory mechanisms correspond to each other and are mediated by wavelength, pitch, and the other physical properties of sound.
		Whereas phonetics refers to the study of the production, perception, and physical nature of speech sounds, phonology refers to the study of how such sounds are combined in particular languages and of how they are used to convey meaning.

	physics - Phonetics
		Phonetics (from the Greek word phone = sound/voice) is the study of speech sounds (voice).
		It is concerned with the actual nature of the sounds and their production, as opposed to phonology, which operates at the level of sound systems and linguistic units (such as phonemes and distinctive features).
		Phonetics was studied as early as 1800 BC in Ancient Egypt (see Alphabet: History and diffusion).

		It deals with the configurations of the vocal tract used to produce speech sounds (articulatory phonetics), the acoustic properties of speech sounds (acoustic phonetics), and the manner of combining sounds so as to make syllables, words, and sentences (linguistic phonetics).
		Phonetics is part of linguistics in that one of the main aims of phonetics is to determine the categories that can be used in explanatory description of languages.
		A phonetic analysis, for example, will describe how the position of the lips differs when producing the i and u sounds and how the t sound in tar differs from the t in star.

		The acoustic phase of a speech event is the most general part, because it is shared by the speaker and the hearer.
		As a consequence, the acoustic angle is probably the most widely used phonetic perspective on speech phenomena.
		Instrumental phonetics is about using instruments (in particular, visual representations of phonetic phenomena) to gain insight in speech.
