phonetics: Encyclopedia - Allophone

In phonetics, an allophone is one of several similar phones that belong to the same phoneme. A phone is a sound that has a definite shape as a sound wave, while a phoneme is a basic group of sounds that can distinguish words (i.e. changing one phoneme in a word can produce another word); speakers of a particular language perceive a phoneme as a single distinctive sound in that language.

The International Phonetic Alphabet identifies 7 different vowel heights, although no language distinguishes all 7: open vowel (low vowel) near-open vowel open-mid vowel mid vowel close-mid vowel near-c ...

phonetics: Encyclopedia - Voiceless consonant

In phonetics, a voiceless consonant is a consonant that does not have voicing. That is, it is produced without vibration of the vocal cords. Voiceless obstruent consonants are usually articulated more strongly than their voiced counterparts, because in voiced consonants, the energy used in pronunciation is split between the laryngeal vibration and the oral articulation. The IPA diacritic for voicelessness is the under-ring, » Voiceless consonant: Encyclopedia - Voiceless consonant

phonetics: Encyclopedia - X-SAMPA

The Extended SAM Phonetic Alphabet (X-SAMPA) is a variant of SAMPA developed in 1995 by John C. Wells, professor of phonetics at the University of London.

The result is a SAMPA-inspired recasting of the IPA into 7-bit ASCII. X-SAMPA - Summary. X-SAMPA - Notes. The IPA symbols that are ordinary lower-case l ...
