P RACTICAL A PPLICATION AND T HEORETICAL S IGNIFICANCE OF P HONETICS Phonetics is indispensable to the teaching of the pronunciation of foreign languages. The teachers have to know the sound system of the pupil’s mother tongue and the sound system of the foreign language to be learnt so that they can help the pupils to master its pronunciation. It is necessary to be able to point out the differences between these two languages and to provide adequate training exercises. Ear training and articulation training are both equally important in modern language teaching. For those who work in speech therapy (logopedics) phonetics forms an essential part of the professional training syllabus. Phonetics also enters into the training of teachers of the deaf and dumb people and can be of relevance to a number of medical and dental problems. Phonetics is useful in such spheres as investigations in the historical aspects of languages, in the field of dialectology; designing or improving systems of writing or spelling (orthographies for unwritten languages, shorthand, spelling reforms), in questions involving the spelling or pronunciation of personal or place names borrowed from other languages. Phonetics contributes important information to the research in criminology aimed at identifying individuals by voices. It is also widely used in teaching correct pronunciation and good elocution to actors, singers, radio-announcers and other public speakers. 17 Nowadays phonetics is important in a number of technological fields connected with communication. The results of phonetic investigations are used in communication engineering. For example, phonetic data is needed for creating machines converting the printed symbols or letters into synthetic speech or automatic typewriters that convert speech directly into printed words on paper. According to S.F. Leontyeva, theoretical significance of phonetics is connected with the further development of the problem of the synchronic study and description of the phonetic system of a national language, the comparative analysis and description of different languages, the study of the correspondences between them, the diachronic description of successive changes in the phonetic system of a language or different languages.
