Special phonetics is concerned with the study of the phonetic system of a concrete language. When the phonetic system is studied in its static form at a particular period (synchronically), we deal with descriptive phonetics. When the system is studied in its historical development (diachronically) we speak about historical, or evolutionary phonetics. Historical phonetics uses the philological method of investigation. It studies written documents and compares the spelling and pronunciation of one and the same word in different periods of the history of the language.

General phonetics is concerned with the study of man's sound—producing possibilities and the functioning of his speech mechanism. It establishes the types of speech sounds which exist in various languages, the way they are produced and the role they play when forming and expressing thoughts. Genera

l phonetics is based on the extensive material which is provided by the spe cial phonetics of a number of languages and on the materialof other sciences. As a result of this, general phonetics has been able to make a number of general conclusions concerning the complex nature of speech sounds and to formulate a number of theories: the phoneme theory, the theory of syllable formation, theories of stress, intonation, etc

Comparative phonetics is concerned with the comparative study of the phonetic systems of two or more languages, especially kindred ones.

All the branches of phonetics are of great use and importance in teaching the pronunciation of foreign languages. Phonetic data is also made use of in teaching children to read and write their mother tongue; in creating orthographies for unwritten languages.

Phonetics is of great practical importance in the teaching of diction to actors, singers, radio—announcers and other public speakers. In order to speak well and to teach others the proper way of speaking one must understand the mechanism of articulation and the mechanism of phonation. Young teachers should bear it in mind that to teach efficiently they must learn to speak efficiently.

Phonetics is applied in logopedics, i.e. in correcting speech defects and in curing pathological phenomena of speech, such as aphasia. To correct deviations from the pronunciation norm, one must have a good knowledge of normal phonetics.

Phonetics is of great importance in surdo—pedagogics, i.e. teaching normal oral speech to deaf—mutes. The deaf people can, in most cases, use only muscular sensation to control and guide their articulation. Therefore, to teach to speak one must know thoroughly the articulatory aspect of speech sounds.
