It delved into the characteristics of significant sound distinctions and the societal significance associated with these sound signals. The three main branches of study within phonetics are articulatory, acoustic and auditory phonetics. Articulatory phonetics examines the process of speech production, acoustic phonetics focuses on the attributes or physical traits of sound waves generated in speech, and auditory phonetics investigates the perception, recognition, and categorization of speech sounds. Phonology concerns itself with the arrangement of sounds within languages. It encompasses the examination of phoneme systems and linguistic analyses across all language levels.
