Linguistics and phonetics are often characterised as the linguistic sciences, implying both similarities and differences. Both linguistics and phonetics are grounded in a basic interest in the nature of human communication. If the subject of linguistics is the scientific study of the nature, use, and variety of all aspects of language, the subject of phonetics is the scientific study of the nature, use, and variety of all aspects of speech.This book is designed for readers who wish to pursue the study of linguistics and phonetics from an initial to an advanced stage, equipping them with the necessary foundations for independent research. The book moves from a discussion of general concepts to a total of thirteen chapters, and it includes discussion of various issues related to linguistics and phonetics. The book is mainly oriented to researchers and students interested in applications of linguistics and phonetics.
