  1. General Notion and Peculiarities of the English Phonetics. Connection with other sciences

Nowadays Phonetics is defined as an independent branch of Linguistics which studies the sound matter of the language, its semantic functions and the lines of its development. Phonetics began to be developed as a science in the 19th century. The factors that stimulated its development were as follows:

• a more thorough acquaintance with the functioning of the human speaking apparatus;

• investigations of many linguists who studied languages that had not alphabets;

• compiling alphabets for such languages. The objects, aims and value of Phonetics are defined on the basis of scientific conception of language based on the thesis that being the most important medium of human intercourse, language is at the same time directly and inseparably connected with thought. This connection manifests itself not only in the generally recognized fact that thoughts can be expressed in actual speech only by means of words organized into sentences pronounced with the proper intonation but also in the less obvious fact that thoughts can originate and be formulated in the human mind also only on the basis of words and sentences. It is clear that language can only exist in the material form of speech sound, though the sounds of speech do not constitute a separate independent element of language. Speech sounds are vibrating particles of air or sound waves or still in other words – a variety of matter moving in space and time. Speech sounds are produced by human organs of speech. Every speech sound is a complex of definite finely coordinated and differentiated movements and positions of various speech organs. They can be considered from the physiological phenomenon having its articulating and auditory aspects. Accordingly to it Phonetics is subdivided into three principal parts: the branch of Phonetics concerned with the study, description and classification of speech sounds as regards their reduction by the human speaking apparatus is called Articulatory Phonetics. Its oldest and simplest method of investigation is the method of direct observation (visual and auditory). This method is subjective. The objective methods require the use of various apparatus and devices such as the artificial palate, photography, X-ray photography, X-ray cinematography, laryngoscopy etc. The branch of Phonetics which is concerned with the study of the acoustic aspect is called Acoustic Phonetics. It uses kymograph (records, qualitative variations of sounds), a spectrograph (shows frequencies of a given sound and its amplitudes), auscilograph (records sound vibrations) and intonograph (investigates the fundamental frequency of speech as the component of intonation). The branch of Phonetics which studies the units serving people for communicative purposes is called Phonology. Besides we have Special Phonetics or Descriptive Phonetics, General Phonetics, Historical Phonetics, Comparative Phonetics. All the branches of Phonetics are closely connected with each other as well as with some other branches of Linguistics such as Lexicology, Grammar, and Stylistics. The connection of Phonetics with Lexicology lies in the fact that distinction of words is realized by the variety of their appearances. The phonetic course of a given language determines the sound composition of words. For example Turkish languages do not admit two or more consonants at the beginning of words while in some Slavonic languages such a phenomenon is widely spread (вкрасти, спритний). Sound interchange is a very vivid manifestation of a close connection of Phonetics with Morphology. It can be observed in the category of number (man – men; goose – geese; foot – feet). Sound interchange also helps to distinguish basic forms of irregular verbs (sing-sangsung), adjectives and nouns (strong-strength), verbs and nouns (to extend-extent). Phonetics is closely connected with Syntax. Any partition of a sentence is realized with the help of pauses, sentence stresses, melody. Changes in pausation can alter the meaning of an utterance. For example: One of the travelers / said Mr. Parker / was likeable (direct speech). If the pause is after “said”, then we have another meaning of this sentence: One of the travelers said / Mr. Parker was likeable. The rising/falling nuclear tone determines the communicative type of the sentence: You know him – statement / You know him – general question. Phonetics is also connected with Stylistics through repetition of sounds, words and phrases. Repetition of this kind creates the basis of rhythm, rhyme and alliteration (repetition of sounds).
