Phonetics is the study of speech sounds. The discipline differs from closely-related phonology by its special attention to the physical properties of the sound stream. Phonetics focuses on the production and perception of speech and is usually separated into three subfields of study:
- articulatory phonetics, which involves the physics of and movements within the vocal tract;
- acoustic phonetics, which involves the analysis and breakdown of the properties of the speech stream; and
- auditory phonetics, which involves the human perception and processing of the speech stream.
