It deals with the configurations of the vocal tract used to produce speech sounds (articulatory phonetics), the acoustic properties of speech sounds (acoustic phonetics), and the manner of combining sounds so as to make syllables, words, and sentences (linguistic phonetics).

Phonetic form is the level of representation wherein expressions, or sentences, are assigned a phonetic representation, which is then pronounced by the speaker. Phonetic form takes surface structure as its input, and outputs an audible (or visual, in the case of sign languages), pronounced sentence.

There are three branches of phonetics, which are articulatory, acoustic, and auditive. Articulatory phonetics studies the articulation of sounds, acoustic phonetics studies the acoustic properties of sound, and auditive phonetics studies the formation of language sounds and their meaning.

Let us delve into the three types of Phonetics with relatable examples. Articulatory Phonetics (Production) Articulatory Phonetics is the study of the organs of speech. ... Acoustic Phonetics (Transmission) ... Auditory Phonetics (Perception)

For example, the word "cats" has the phonemic representation /kæts/. If it is assumed that the underlying form of the English plural suffix is a [z] sound, the underlying form of "cats" would be //kætz//. (The [z] surfaces as an [s] because of the phonological process of devoicing after an unvoiced consonant.)
