Phonetics: A "Sound" Science
What is the study of how speech sounds are produced, their acoustic and perceptual characteristics and how they are produced by the speech organs?
What is Phonetics
What is the difference phonemic and allophonic transcription?
What is Broad versus Narrow transcription
What is the cartilaginous and muscular structure that houses the vocal folds and it responsible for phonation?
What is the larynx?
What is the joining together of the speech organs for the production of phonemes?
What is articulation?

What is The International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)
What are the different letter sequences or patterns that represent the same sound?
What is an allograph?
What lowers in the production of the nasal phonemes and raises during production of the oral phonemes?
What is the velum?
What are phonemes that are produced by the tongue and teeth?
What are dental or interdental sounds?
What is the printed alphabet letter used in the representation of an allograph?
