Scopri la differenza fra fonetica e fonologia, oltre ad alcuni termini utili per capire lo studio della pronuncia dei suoni inglesi.
Phonetic terminology made simple………
Phonetics is the study of physical sounds and the human voice. It is concerned with the properties of speech sounds (phones) and of non-speech sounds and their production and perception.
Phonology, as opposed to phonetics, is the study of sound systems and abstract sound units, such as phonemes.
Phonemes are the smallest unit of sound in a language which can distinguish two words, for example, “can” and “fan”, these words only differ with initial sound /k/ and /f/. But “ban” and “bin” differ only with their vowel sound / ɪ / and / æ /
RP means “Received Pronunciation.” This is a standard “BBC English” pronunciation used, for the sounds of phonetic spellings.
In a bilingual dictionary you can find the standard pronunciation for each word, transcribed following the IPA conventions.
IPA is an acronym meaning International Phonetic Association.
