The International Phonetic Alphabet has been developed by the International Phonetic Association as a writing system that can be used to describe the sounds used in speech across languages. This is important because it allows for us to describe sounds accurately based on a number of distinctions used to separate speech sounds in languages. This is shown in the following chart from the In this class, we will focus on learning the vowel and consonants (pulmonic) charts, focusing in particular on the sounds used in English. However, in order for you to use these charts well, it is important for you to understand how they are organized. Consonants First, you will see that for the consonant chart, the columns are organized according to place of articulation (covered in Week 1), moving from the forward-most articulation points to the back-most articulation points. The rows, then, are organized according to manner of articulation (covered in Week 2). However, these are only two of the variables that distinguish sounds from each other. Note that voicing is also shown in this chart through the placement of the symbols to the right or left sides of each cell in the table. If a symbol is placed in the left-side of a cell, that means that that symbol corresponds to a voiceless sound. If a symbol is placed in the right-side of a cell, that symbol corresponds to a voiced sound. When describing consonant segments, it is typical to describe them in the order of voicing, place of articulat...
