a system of symbols used to represent the sounds of human language and facilitating accurate transcription

the physical movements and coordination of speech organs, such as the tongue, lips, and vocal cords, to produce speech sounds

the sounds that a person makes when speaking or singing

a speech sound that is produced with the vocal cords vibrating, resulting in a vocalic or resonant quality

a speech sound produced without vibration of the vocal cords, resulting in the absence of vocal cord involvement in its production

the duration of a speech sound, whether it is a vowel or a consonant

the phenomenon in which speech sounds overlap or influence each other in their articulation, resulting in modified or assimilated articulatory characteristics

the representation of speech sounds using a system of symbols that accurately captures the precise articulatory, acoustic, and perceptual properties of the sounds, allowing for detailed phonetic analysis

a type of phonetic transcription that represents the general phonetic characteristics of speech sounds, often using a simplified set of symbols and not indicating fine phonetic details or allophonic variations

a detailed form of phonetic transcription that includes additional phonetic symbols and diacritics to represent finer phonetic details such as specific articulatory features, allophonic variations, and suprasegmental aspects of speech
