Phonetics as a linguistic science. Branches of phonetics. Phonetics and

Phonetics is a linguistic science that studies segmental sounds (vowels, consonants), the way they are organized into the system of units and prosodic phenomena (pitch, stress, tempo, rhythm). It closely connected with other linguistic sciences - grammar, lexicology, stylistics and the history of the language.
4 main branches of phonetics: Articulatory/physiological - concerned with the study of sounds as the result of the activities of the speech organs; it deals with our voice-producing mechanism and the way we produce sounds; Perceptual/auditory - study of man's perception of segmental sounds, pitch variation, loudness and duration; Acoustic/physical - acoustic aspect of speech sounds (pitch, spectrum, timber, loudness, length).
Functional/linguistic/phonology - deals with the functional aspect of sound phenomena. Phonology sets out to discover those segmental and prosodic features that have a differential value in a language, and it established the system of phonemes.
