  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, with Pāṇini's account of the place and manner of articulation of consonants in his 5th century BCE treatise of Sanskrit.

In articulatory phonetics, speech sounds are classified by the relative positions of the vocal organs and by their effects on the air flow.
To me, it seems as if auditory phonetics requires a lot more research before one may properly call it a science, but at present phoneticians lack accessible ways of measuring auditory qualities of sounds, and it may be impossible at all to advance the knowledge in auditory phonetics without breaking moral boundaries.
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.

 PHONETICS,
Experimentation and the use of scientific instruments are characteristic of many types of phonetics research, but the name “experimental phonetics,” or instrumental phonetics,” is often applied especially to the measurement and characterization of the physiological activities involved in producing speech sounds, along with analysis of such sounds.
Phonetic symbols and their articulatory definitions are abbreviated descriptions of these selected activities.
If phonetics can be viewed as the study of speech sounds in general, then phonology, in its specific sense, deals with how selected sounds are used and organized in languages to express and differentiate meaning.

 Phonology & Phonetics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
Phonetics and Phonology are the branches of linguistics that are concerned with sounds made in the production of human language, looking at this phenomenon from different perspectives.
Accordingly, the tree main branches of phonetics are: articulatory phonetics, auditory phonetics and acoustic phonetics.
Since the orthography of the languages is only imperfectly phonetic and since the number of speech sounds exceeds the number of characters in the Roman alphabet, International Phonetic Alphabet has been invented by the International Phonetic Association (IPA) as a separate system to represent the actual sounds of the human language.

 AllRefer.com - phonetics (Language And Linguistics) - Encyclopedia
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.

Phonetics is the branch of linguistics devoted to the study of speech sounds.
Phonetics attempts to classify and describe sounds of speech used in all natural languages.
The study may include how speaker produces speech sounds (physiological or articulatory phonetics), how speech sounds are transmitted from the speaker to the listener (acoustic phonetics), how a listener perceives speech sounds (perceptual or auditory phonetics) and how speech sounds function in languages to convey meaning (linguistic phonetics or phonology).

 Introduction to phonetic sciences
Articulatory phonetics is the study of how, after receiving a signal from the brain, the human vocal tract is manipulated into a configuration which generates a speech sound wave form.
Auditory phonetics studies how the human hear receives the speech sound wave form, processes the wave form and converts it into a signal for interpretation by the hearer's brain.
Acoustic phonetics is the study of the perception of sounds by a hearer or hearers.

 Linguistics: Phonetics - Wikibooks, collection of open-content textbooks
Phonetics is the systematic study of the human ability to make sounds using the vocal organs of speech, especially for producing oral language.
For the purposes of articulatory phonetics, consonant sounds are typically characterized as sounds that have constricted or closed configurations of the vocal tract.
For example, a sound such as [w] phonetically seems more like a vowel (with relative lack of constriction or closure of the vocal tract) but, phonologically speaking, behaves as a consonant in that it always appears before a vowel sound at the beginning (onset) of a syllable.

 Six Lectures on Sound and Meaning
Thus the study of linguistic sounds was replaced by historical phonetics, i.e., by a search for their prototypes in earlier forms of each given language, while so-called static phonetics was more or less entirely given over to the observation of the vocal apparatus and its functioning.
To the extent that phonetics is concerned exclusively with the act of phonation, that is with the production of sounds by the various organs, it is not in a position to accomplish this, as Ferdinand de Saussure had already made clear.
At this point we leave the territory of phonetics, the discipline which studies sounds solely in their motor and acoustic aspects, and we enter a new territory, that of phonology, which studies the sounds of language in their linguistic aspect.
