Abstract The present study deals with “A brief Modern Standard Arabic. This study starts from an description of consonants in Modern Standard Arabic”. This elucidation of the phonetic bases of sounds classification. At study tries to give some information about the production of this point shows the first limit of the study that is basically Arabic sounds, the classification and description of phonetic rather than phonological description of sounds. consonants in Standard Arabic, then the definition of the This attempt of classification is followed by lists of the word consonant. In the present study we also investigate the consonant sounds in Standard Arabic with a key word for place of articulation in Arabic consonants we describe each consonant. The criteria of description are place and sounds according to: bilabial, labio-dental, alveolar, palatal, manner of articulation and voicing. The attempt of velar, uvular, and glottal.

Part 1: Introduction to The
PREVIEW OF THE IPA HANDBOOK Handbook of the International Phonetic Association: A guide to the use of the International Phonetic Alphabet PARTI Introduction to the IPA 1. What is the International Phonetic Alphabet? The aim of the International Phonetic Association is to promote the scientific study of phonetics and the various practical applications of that science. For both these it is necessary to have a consistent way of representing the sounds of language in written form. From its foundation in 1886 the Association has been concerned to develop a system of notation which would be convenient to use, but comprehensive enough to cope with the wide variety of sounds found in the languages of the world; and to encourage the use of thjs notation as widely as possible among those concerned with language. The system is generally known as the International Phonetic Alphabet. Both the Association and its Alphabet are widely referred to by the abbreviation IPA, but here 'IPA' will be used only for the Alphabet. The IPA is based on the Roman alphabet, which has the advantage of being widely familiar, but also includes letters and additional symbols from a variety of other sources. These additions are necessary because the variety of sounds in languages is much greater than the number of letters in the Roman alphabet. The use of sequences of phonetic symbols to represent speech is known as transcription. The IPA can be used for many different purposes. For instance, it can be used as a way to show pronunciation in a dictionary, to record a language in linguistic fieldwork, to form the basis of a writing system for a language, or to annotate acoustic and other displays in the analysis of speech.

There is no finer example of a useless proposition, which yet is connected with a certain play of the imagination. It is as if in imagination we put a thing into its own shape and saw that it fitted." (Wittgenstein 1958:84) I. TYPES OF EQUIVALENCE A basic principle of the International Phonetic Alphabet is to use one symbol for one sound: When two sounds occurring in a given language are employed for distinguishing one word from another, they should whenever possible be represented by two distinct letters without diacritical marks. (PIPA 1984:1) Roach (1989:70) states even more forcefully, Only one way of representing a given sound should be allowed on the [IPA] chart. However, each symbol is by the use of diacritical marks, equivalent to other symbols, for example, è • uá, v9 • f. The following is an analysis of the meaning of equivalence in phonetic symbolism, and a demonstration of how equivalence may be used to show relationships between sounds and produce narrow transcription. (Phonetics is in larger type or [ ] ) It is observed that each sound may be defined by various combinations of these symbols to produce equivalencies and similarities. Equivalencies are shown to be 1) stipulated, 2) tautologies or identities, 3) circularities, 4) question begging, 5) synthetic or descriptive. The descriptive and definitional equivalencies show how the relationships and the combinations of symbols may be used to produce greater phonetic accuracy and narrow transcription. In this way, IPA symbolism is extended in its use and its full heuristic power is manifested.

Results suggest that pharyngealized epiglottis. The traditional pharyngeals can be identified as voice and raised larynx voice share constriction or pursing of the occurring at this location, particularly stop closure which is often aryepiglottic sphincter mechanism, entailing retracted tongue root identified in conjunction with glottal closure [19]. All of these and elevated larynx. This setting is more pronounced in the articulations are characterized by retraction of the tongue root context of an [A] vowel. Lowered larynx voice and faucalized towards the back wall of the pharynx. The ÒgrowlingÓ and voice, by contrast, share a setting which is the opposite of Òthroat clearingÓ sounds, occurring as properties of meaningful pharyngealized, with an open rather than a sphinctered distinctive consonant or vowel sounds in some languages, e.g., epilaryngeal vestibule, and with a lowered larynx position.

Computer-Coding the IPA: a Proposed Extension of SAMPA J.C.Wells, University College London
Computer-coding the IPA: a proposed extension of SAMPA J.C.Wells, University College London 1. Computer coding. When an ASCII file (a DOS text file) is sent as an e-mail message, the only characters that are sure to be properly transmitted are those with ASCII/ANSI numbers between 32 and 126. These comprise upper-case A..Z, lower-case a..z, numerals 0..9, punctuation marks ! " ' ( ) , - . / : ; ? [ ] { }, other marks # $ % & * + < = > @ \ ^ _ ` | ~, and space. If we want to transmit phonetic symbols, we must therefore recode them using only these characters. It is not even the case that all the 'other marks' mentioned will necessarily reappear correctly at the receiving end: on my own British screen, for example, an incoming character originally transmitted as a hash mark (#) appears as pound sterling (£). But at least there is a consistent one- for-one substitution, so that information is not lost. On the other hand an outgoing character falling outside the range 32..126 is very likely to be converted into something else: a pound sterling sign (£, ASCII 156, ANSI 0163) transmitted from a British keyboard may be received (even in the UK) as an exclamation mark (!), hash (#), or other substitute. 2. The SAM Phonetic Alphabet (SAMPA) conventions were drawn up in 1988-1991 (with subsequent minor revisions and extensions) by the SAM (Speech Assessment Methods) consortium, comprising speech scientists from nine countries of the European Community (Wells et al, 1992). The purpose of SAMPA was to form the basis of an international standard machine-readable phonetic alphabet for purposes of international collaboration in speech research.

Gutturals in Phonetic Terms
Gutturals in phonetic terms OPEN Jiří Hedánek ACCESS Prague ABSTRACT: “Guttural” is a vaguely or variably defined term in the phonology of ancient Semitic languages, espe- cially Tiberian Hebrew. It can include laryngeals, pharyngeals, epiglottals, uvulars, and sometimes postvelars; pharyngealized emphatics should be covered too, though they are not; and often, inexpli- cably, all rhotics are included, even though only uvular ones should be eligible. In general, “guttural” seems to be a purely phonology-based concept, out of step with phonetic considerations. Sounds of speech, however, are more than abstract nodes in charts; they have material substance, which both affects and is affected by neighboring sounds. Over time, a secondary manifestation can assume the phonological position of a sound, gradually making the sound itself redundant and prone to dis- appearance. This may well have been the origin of the disputed Semitic *ġ, provided that a second- ary articulation, velarization or possibly pharygealization, took over and became a full-fledged ɣ[ ]. If teachers employ the inherited term “gutturals”, they sometimes tend to present them as im- posing [a]-vowels wherever possible. This is a phonetically unsubstantiated claim, as laryngeals im- pose no vocalic colour; uvulars and postvelars would enhance [o] and [u], if anything at all; epi- glottals may front the back vowels (i.e. towards [e]) and lower only the front vowels; the inherent [ɑ]-colour of pharyngeals seems to lag behind rather than anticipate (which might be language-spe- cific); and pharyngealized consonants, excluded from gutturals in any case, are observed to move vowels back rather than down. Articulations “behind the tongue”, so crucial for Semitic phonolo- gies, present numerous complexities: difficult to observe, frequently substituting for one another, and involving issues of terminology as well as interpretation of scripts.
