The methods of Phonetic Analysis
Each area of phonetics employs its own technique of research, which evolves:

X-ray photography, photography, filmmaking, and direct observation are all used in articulation phonetics;

The instrumental method is used in acoustic phonetics. Spectrographs and intonographs are two fundamental devices that are still used today together with computer software (programs).

In auditory phonetics, we mark the text using techniques for auditory/perception analysis.

In phonetic research, various techniques are frequently combined.
