PHONETICS

The study of the entire speech process, not necessarily in the context of a given language. This discipline includes a study of the articulation, classification and perception of speech sounds (or PHONEs), as well as the physiological and neurological basis for speech generation. The linguistic application of phonetics relates it to PHONOLOGY.

Compare: AUDIOLOGY, TYPOLOGY.
