Its main principles of IPA:
there should be a separate letter for each distinctive sound, and that the same symbol should be used for that sound in any language in which it appears. The alphabet was to consist of as many Roman alphabet letters as possible, using new letters and diacritics only when absolutely necessary.

Phonetics
Study of Speech Sound Phonology
Phonetics studies how speech sounds are produced, transmitted, and perceived.
Articulatory Phonetics is the study of the production of speech sounds. Acoustic Phonetics is the study of the physical properties of speech sounds. Perceptual or Auditory Phonetics is concerned with the perception of speech sounds.

2.2 Definition of language
Common aspects of language agreed upon by the linguists:
a system a system of verbal symbols Communication is one of the major functions of language though language can also be said to perform other functions. Human language Language is arbitrary in the sense that the relation between speech sounds (form) and the ideas the sounds convey (meaning) is arbitrary.

Gradable antonyms---there are often intermediate forms between the two members of a pair, e.g. old-young, hot-cold, tall-short, …
Complementary antonyms
Note
Linguistic forms having the same sense may have different references in different situations; on the other hand, there are also occasions, when linguistic forms with the same reference might differ in sense, e.g. the morning star and the evening star, rising sun in the morning and the sunset at dusk.
Meaning should be studied in terms of situation, use, contex—elements closely linked with language behavior. Two types of contexts are recognized: Situational context: spatiotemporal situation Linguistic context: the probability of a word’s cooccurrence or collocation.

chapter 8 sociolinguistics 英语专业语言学PPT
Language change from region to region, from social group to another, from individual to individual.
Language varieties are related to region, social ass, educational background, and the degree of formality of a situation in which language is used, including standard language, dialects, registers, pidgins, creoles, etc.
Horizontal bilingualism (横向性双语现 象) & diagonal bilingualism (倾斜性 双语现象)
Multilingualism
A situation where 3 or more languages are used by an individual or by a group of speakers.

Speech organs
A. The initiator of the airstream B. The vocal cords C. The resonating cavities
The initiator of the airstream
The vocal cords
Cords closed
The places of articulation
• bilabial: [p], [b], [m], [w] in “ pie, buy, my”. • labiodental: [f], [v] in “fie, vie”. • dental: [θ], [δ] in “ thigh, thy”. • alveolar: [t], [d], [l], [n], [s], [z] in “tie, die….”
Cords open
Larynx
Three resonating cavities
• Pharyngeal cavity ---- the throat • The oral cavity ---- the mouth • Nasal cavity ---- the nose
Three cavities
Classification of consonants
---- English consonants can be classified according to two dimensions:
• The places of articulation • The manners of articulation
Classification of English speech sounds
---- English speech sounds are generally classified into two large categories:
• Vowels • Consonants
Note: The essential difference between these two classes is that in the production of the former the airstream meets with no obstruction of any kind in the throat, the nose or the mouth, while in that of the latter it is somehow obstructed.

• Nasality ---- nasal & non-nasal
• Aspiration ----- aspirated & unaspirated

• Acoustic phonetics----from the physical way or means by which sounds are transmitted from one toБайду номын сангаасanother.
Articulatory phonetics
• word |'w∂:d| |'w∂:rd| • pass |pa:s| |pæ s| • box | bכks | |baks| • interesting |'intristiŋ| |'int∂ristiŋ| • system |'sistim| |'sist∂m|
Scope of phonetics
• Articulatory phonetics----from the speakers’ point of view, “how speakers produce speech sounds”.
• Auditory phonetics----from the hearers’ point of view, “how sounds are perceived”.
Lecture 2 Phonetics
• Language is primarily vocal. The primary medium of human language is sound. Linguists are not interested in all sounds, but in speech sounds----sounds that convey meaning in human communication.
What is phonetics ?
----A branch of linguistics which studies the characteristics of speech sounds and provides methods for their description, classification and transcription, e.g. [p] bilabial, stop.
