Summary
Speech-language pathologists require new symbols for non-normal speech sounds not in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). Recent proposals and symbols from the 1989 IPA Congress are discussed.
Area of Science:
- Phonetics
- Speech-language pathology
- Linguistics
Background:
- Clinical phoneticians and speech pathologists need a system for transcribing non-normal articulations.
- Existing systems like the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) lack symbols for these sounds.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review recent proposals for phonetic transcription symbols.
- To present the latest set of symbols developed at the 1989 IPA Congress in Kiel.
Main Methods:
- Review of recent proposals for phonetic transcription.
- Analysis of symbols developed at the 1989 IPA Congress.
Main Results:
- Discussion of various recent proposals for transcribing non-normal speech sounds.
- Presentation of symbols devised at the 1989 IPA Congress.
Conclusions:
- The need for expanded phonetic transcription systems is recognized.
- New symbols have been developed to address the limitations of existing systems for non-normal articulations.
