Transcription is a system of symbols that represent in written form speech sounds. International Phonetic Association (IPA) worked out a system of symbols universal for all languages. This system of transcription is called “International Phonetic Alphabet”.
Transcription:
1. Broad (phonemic) – it provides symbols for the phonemes of the language. It is used for teaching. Was offered by Daniel Jones.
§ by Daniel Jones: It uses the same symbols for pairs of vowels using dots to indicate the difference in length. ([i] – [i:], [u] – [u:]) The difference in quality between vowels is not represented.
§ by Васильев: It uses different symbols of all vowel phonemes. ([ɪ] – [iː], [ɒ] – [ɔː], etc.)
2. Narrow (allophonic) – it provides special symbol for the allophones and is usually used in research. Gives more accurate and detailed information about individual allophones.
