Phonetic transcription is a key element in many kinds of written works, not least linguistics books, dictionaries, language-teaching texts and bilingual reference works. This book is the first book-length scholarly monograph to address all of the important aspects of phonetic transcription.The aim of phonetic transcription is to represent the sounds of speech on paper. This book reviews contemporary uses of phonetic transcription in dictionaries, language teaching texts, phonetic and phonological studies, dialectology and sociolinguistics, speech pathology and therapy, and forensic phonetics. Heselwood surveys the history of attempts to represent speech, considering the relationship of transcription to written language. The book also includes a thorough analysis of the many different kinds of phonetic transcription – broad, narrow, auditory, systematic, segmental, suprasegmental, parametric and others – addressing what exactly is represented in different kinds and levels of transcription.Different ways in which transcription can be used alongside modern instrumental records of speech are illustrated with the claim that transcription embodies a kind of knowledge about speech unavailable to instruments – knowledge gained from the experience of listening to it in a phonetically informed manner. The author grounds this claim in the philosophy of phenomenalism, countering arguments against auditory transcription that have been advanced by experimental phoneticians for reasons of empirical inadequacy, and by linguistic rationalists who say it is irrelevant for understanding the supposedly innate categories that are said to underlie speech. A glossary of terms is included, along with a series of examples to demonstrate the comparison, classification and interpretation of phonetic transcriptions for different purposes.

Phonetic Transcription in Theory and Practice 1st Table of contents:

  • Introduction to Phonetic Transcription: The book begins by introducing phonetic transcription as a form of writing designed to represent the sounds of speech. It discusses the differences between the medium of sound and the medium of writing and the challenges of representing sound accurately in written form.

  • Theoretical Preliminaries: The book addresses theoretical foundations, clarifying the relationship between spoken and written language, and distinguishing between phonetic notation and transcription. Key concepts such as phonographic orthography, respelling, and transliteration are explored.

  • Origins and Development: The author traces the history of phonetic transcription, examining how writing and phonetics have come together over time to create systems that allow the representation of pronunciation.

  • Phonetic Notation: A detailed discussion on phonetic notation, explaining how symbols are used to denote speech sounds and theoretical models. The text explores the design of symbols and their meanings, including the evolution of specific phonetic symbols.

  • Types of Transcription: The book covers different types of phonetic transcription, including distinctions between phonetic, phonemic, and phonological transcriptions. It discusses the varying levels of analysis that phonetic transcription can represent.

  • Narrow Impressionistic Transcription: A chapter dedicated to narrow impressionistic phonetic transcription, a method for capturing what speech sounds like to a trained listener. It highlights the holistic approach to analyzing speech and making transcriptions based on subjective experience.

  • Instrumental and Other Records: This section examines how phonetic transcription relates to instrumental recordings, such as the sound spectrograph, and how technology has influenced phonetic research.

  • Uses of Phonetic Transcription: The book also surveys the various uses of phonetic transcription in practical settings, including dictionaries and language learning tools, providing a broad overview of how transcription is applied in different contexts.
