Phonetic Transcription
Phonetic transcription is the process of transcribing speech sounds into IPA. Transcription is used to discuss topics in pronunciation, accents, word stress as well as the disparities between spelling and pronunciation. There are situations when IPA is used to map sounds and transcribe speech in other languages. Using the IPA for transcription is like writing precise instructions or providing an idealized pronunciation on how to pronounce words in a language. Learning correct transcription enables one to write speech sounds precisely and accurately.
Scope and Sequence:
-
Parameters of acoustic signals as they relate to language transmission
-
Comparison of the phonetics of spoken languages to signed and cued languages
-
Parameters to characterize vowel phonemes
-
Place, Manner, and Voicing for the consonants of spoken English
-
Transcribing typical, disordered, and accented speech
-
Features of connected speech like co-articulation, stress, intonation, and vowel reduction
-
Symbols that represent foreign sounds
-
Patterns that characterize various accents and dialects
-
Discriminate, contrast and produce sounds and clusters that cause problems for English speakers in isolation and in context
-
Recognise, identify and produce supra- segmental features of English speech, such as stress, rhythm, intonation, weak and strong forms
