Phonetics as a branch of a language
The term "phona" is a Greek word that means "sound" or "voice."

Phonetics is the study of human sounds, or how people communicate by sending and receiving sounds.

We only research significant sounds, or sounds that convey ordered information. They serve as the focus of the particular interest.

One of the fundamental subfields of linguistics is phonetics. Because neither grammar nor lexics can exist without the phonetic form, it is crucial to the study of languages. Phonetically, all of these occurrences are articulated. This implies that phonetics is a fundamental area of linguistics. Phonetics are essential to both linguistic theory and the description of language.

Ancient Greeks were aware of phonetics, and they valued phonetic delivery and the philosophy of public speech.

Since the 19th century, it has been recognized as a separate discipline. The 20th century saw the majority of research. Grammar used to include phonetics. Phonetics has become VERY important in the 20th century.
The branches of Phonetics.

System 1

The study of phonetic rules, issues, and principles across all languages is known as general phonetics, or оa онетика.

-> Special phonetics - частная фонетика (English theoretical phonetics in comparison to Russian -||- and other things. examines the phonetics of a certain language and contrasts it with other languages) English phonetics is our main topic.

II Subdivision according to the speech production:

The drawing “How human noises are produced”
We call it the chain of events which takes places when one person is speaking and the other one is listening.
The process of speech productionis realized in the folowing scheme:

1. 
   the message is formed and incoded in the brain of the speaker (linguistic/ psychological level)
   
2. 
   it is transmitted to the organs of speech and some sounds are articulated (physiological stage)
   
3. 
   the movement of the organs of speech produces sound waves (physical/ acoustic stage)
   
4. 
   the sound waves are perceived, identified and decoded by the listener (NB stages 4 and 5 in the picture)
   

The reason is that each of these stages correlate to different branches of phonetics (is studied by a particular branch…):

• 
  articulation phonetics studies the mechanisms of speech production;
  
• 
  acoustic phonetics is concerned with the physical characteristics of speech sounds and uses special techniques to measure these sounds;
  
• 
  auditory phonetics studies the perception of speech
  
• 
  the linguistic interpretation is given by phonology
  

Phonology studies the system of sounds units (фонетические единицы) and their function. Phonology is quite a controversial subject, because some schools think that it’s a separate discipline. But we observe it as a part of Phonetics:
Phonetics stands for physical aspect, Phonology stands for the meaning of a word.
Phonetics focuses on the physical characteristic of a sound, and phonology – on its meaning.
