SB01
Phonetics
The science or study of speech sounds and their production, transmission, and reception, and their analysis, classification, and transcription.
It is concerned with the physical properties of speech.
The publication will be typographic as it will concentrate on language. By including the phonetic breakdown of the Northern word or phrase it will emphasise this and add visual interest.
