What is the difference between phonetic and phonemic? Phonemics, or Phonology, is the study of the distribution of sound systems in human languages A Phoneme is a particular set of sounds produced in a particular language and distinguishable by native speakers of that language from other (sets of) sounds in that language That's what "distinctive" means -- the English phonemes n and ŋ can be told apart by native speakers of English, because
Differences between phonemic and phonetic transcriptions On the other hand, phonemic transcriptions deal with phonemes, which can change the meaning of the words in which they are contained if replaced; for example, bɪt and pɪt Phonetic transcriptions provide more details on how the actual sounds are pronounced, while phonemic transcriptions represent how people interpret such sounds
Whats the difference between phonetics and phonology? Yes when people want to contrast phonetic and phonemic transcriptions they use the right term But otherwise phonetic transcription is naively used to cover both so it's more vague or ambiguous Think phrasebooks, non-linguists talking about languages in online forums etc
phonology - When should one use slashes or square brackets when . . . Square brackets denote the final stage of processing (which is sent to the articulators), called "phonetic transcription", while slashes denote the form stored in the mental lexicon (stripped of all predictable information), called "phonemic transcription"
phonemes - What this difference between phonemic and phonetic . . . The phonetic transcription is [tʰak:] Why isn't the first phoneme tʰ if it's pronounced (if I understand correctly, and from the phonetics) with [tʰ] More generally, what is transcribed by the phonetic and phonemic transcription respectively?
vs [ ] - when to use which? - Linguistics Stack Exchange What Miztli said Narrowness is independent of the phonemic–phonetic dichotomy Slashes denote a phonemic transcription, which is by definition always broad, while phonetic transcriptions range from broad to narrow (see Handbook of the IPA, pp 28–30)
What is a Phonetic Language? - Linguistics Stack Exchange A one-to-one correspondence between written and spoken language is called a phonemic writing system There are indeed large differences in phonemicity between writing systems, some factors that influence this are History: The older a writing system is, the less phonemic it is because there are sound changes in the spoken language that aren't carried over to the writing system General design of
Phonetic vs phonological consonants: What is the difference? Of course it is clear that a phonetic constant would have a "complete or partial closure of the vocal tract" So when would a sound be a phonological consonant while its status as a phonetic consonant is doubtful?
In IPA transcription, what is the difference between “ɪ”, i, “i:”? As the Handbook of the International Phonetic Association (1999: 30) puts it: [T]he contrast between the words bead and bid has phonetic correlates in both vowel quality and vowel duration A phonemic representation which explicitly notes this might use the symbols iː and ɪ
