Phonetic Analysis

Phonetic analysis involves studying the physical sounds of human language—how they are produced, transmitted, and heard. It examines the features of speech sounds (called phonemes), such as their articulation (how they are formed in the mouth), acoustic properties (sound wave patterns), and auditory perception. This analysis helps linguists understand how different speech sounds function across languages, compare pronunciation variations, and study speech patterns in different contexts. Overall, phonetic analysis provides a detailed, scientific look at the sound component of language, bridging the physical aspects of speech with linguistic meaning.
