- 5. What is Phonetics? • from the Greek word phone = sound/voice; and tics = study • A theory about human speech sounds, that we use in speaking - how they are produced, transmitted and received. • The smallest sound unit, such as a simple vowel or consonant sound is called phone.
- 6. WHY IS PHONETICS IMPORTANT? • 1. To give a true description of sounds of English and how they are made. • 2. To differentiate sounds of English from those of the mother tongue. • 3. To help improve your English accent, your listening skills, and your ability to communicate effectively with others. • 4. To point out the mistakes in leaner’s pronunciation and help them learn the correct form.
- 7. Three branches of Phonetics • 1. Articulatory Phonetics: How sounds are produced • 2. Acoustic Phonetics: How sounds are transmitted • 3. Auditory Phonetics: How sounds are received
- 8. ARTICULATORY PHONETICS • About how the sounds are produced • Study the positions and movements of the lips, tongue, and other speech organs in producing speech.
- 9. ACOUSTIC PHONETICS • About how the sounds are transmitted • Study the properties of speech sounds as transmitted between the mouth and ear.
- 10. AUDITORY PHONETICS • About how the sounds are received • Study the hearing and the perception of speech sounds.

THE ORGANS OF SPEECH HARD PALATE (Ngạc cứng) SOFT PALATE/VELUM (Ngạc mềm) (Khí quản) UVULA (Lưỡi gà) ORAL CAVITY (Khoang miệng) PHARYNX (Họng) LARYNX (Thanh quản) EPIGLOTTIS (Nắp thanh quản) VOCAL FOLDS (Dây thanh)TRACHEA (Khí quản) TONGUE (Lưỡi) TEETH (Răng) LIPS (Môi) ALVEOLAR RIDGE (Lợi) NASAL CAVITY (Khoang mũi)
- 12. AIRSTREAM MECHANISM • All speech sounds are produced on a moving airstream. • An airstream initiated by the lungs is called a pulmonic airstream. • All English sounds (both consonants and vowels) are produced by Pulmonic Egressive Airstream, an outgoing airstream produced by the lungs.
- 13. PULMONIC EGRESSIVE AIRSTREAM MECHANISM Air is coming from the Lungs, passing through the Trachea (windpipe) and the Larynx (where the vocal folds are), into the Vocal tract (oral and nasal cavities).
- 15. THE INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC ALPHABET • In English, there is no one-to-one relation between the system of writing and the system of pronunciation. • The alphabet which we use to write English has 26 letters but in (Standard British) English there are approximately 44 speech sounds. • The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) is a pronunciation alphabet in which every speech sound is represented by a symbol. • The symbols are used in modern dictionaries for English learners.
- 16. • 26 letters • 5 vowels • 21 consonants • 44 sounds • 12 monophthongs • 8 diphthongs • 24 consonant sounds THE ENGLISH APHABET THE INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC ALPHABET
