	Phonetics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Phonetics (from the Greek word φωνή, phone = sound/voice) is the study of sounds (voice).
		Phonetics deals with the sounds themselves rather than the contexts in which they are used in languages.
		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.

		The Department of Phonetics and Linguistics was formed in 1971 by the amalgamation of the existing departments of Phonetics and General Linguistics.
		Phonetics at University College can be said to reach back to 1866, when Alexander Melville Bell gave lectures on speech; he was assisted by his son Alexander Graham Bell, then a student at the College, and later to find fame as the inventor of the telephone.
		Apart from our breadth of coverage we are particularly distinguished in at least three areas: articulatory phonetics, especially the study and description of English pronunciation; theoretical linguistics, especially the study of syntax, pragmatics and phonology; and experimental phonetics, particularly speech perception, speech technology, speech and language pathology, and speech and hearing science.

		One such department reports that its enrollment has fallen forty percent since a recent loss of the language requirement, and another mentions the difficulty of meeting requests for varied emphases in departmental offerings, given the reduced size of the enrollment.
		Many departments have broadened the major or created a variety of options permitting a considerable degree of concentration in the spoken language or in culture and civilization, as well as in literature.
		Further-more, over a sixth of our departments are experimenting with forms of individualized instruction, and their projects most often revolve around programmed learning, self-instructional programmed learning, computer-assisted instruction, total teaching programs in the lab, and other innovations undertaken out of a desire to make language learning faster, surer, and more rewarding.

		Various kinds of apparatus are used in instrumental phonetics, also known as experimental phonetics.

		Like most departments, we have had occasion to reexamine our programs to determine their effectiveness in the light of enrollment fluctuations and new developments.
		This is certainly not an original approach, since many colleges and universities provide instruction for teachers; ordinarily, however, such instruction presents foreign literature or advanced educational theory and does little to improve the daily operation of the FL classroom.
		Colleges and universities are certainly not in a position to ignore this group, since advanced FL classes are not overly large.

	MLA Survey of Doctoral Programs in Foreign Languages (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Twenty-six departments have taken steps to reduce new enrollments in doctoral programs in compliance with a quota or limit imposed by the administration; sixteen departments have raised standards for admission; and twenty-seven report that applications and admissions have declined “naturally” due to lack of funds for fellowships and assistantships.
		A majority of the responding departments (98) require candidates to show proficiency in two foreign languages other than the language of their degree, while the number of departments requiring only one language (31) is more than offset by the number requiring three (33).
		Virtually all responding classics departments incorporate work in ancient history, philosophy, or archaeology in their programs; Oriental language departments are generally involved in area studies programs or, occasionally, Oriental history and religion; and several doctoral programs in Spanish permit or encourage work in Latin American studies.
