A Dictionary of Phonetics
Articulatory, Acoustic, Auditory
English - Arabic

SOLOMON I. SARA, S.J.
Georgetown University

The aim of this dictionary is to provide the Arabic students and
scholars a comprehensive set of English technical vocabulary that is
currently used in phonetics with the corresponding set in Arabic.
Phonetics is a vast field of study with branches reaching out into
many speech and language sciences.  Thus, a dictionary of phonetics
can not be limited only to the field of linguistics. It must include
articulatory phonetics and technical terms from the anatomy,
physiology, and neurology of speech; acoustic phonetics and the
technical terms from speech encoding and transmission processes; and
auditory phonetics and technical terms from speech reception,
decoding, and perception.  In addition, a dictionary of phonetics must
include all other relevant terms occurring in the neighboring
sub-fields of linguistics that touch upon phonetics, in particular
instrumental phonetics and phonology.  The proposed dictionary is such
a dictionary of phonetics.  Even though this dictionary accounts for
all of the phonetic terminology in use in the study and teaching of
phonetics, it is arranged alphabetically rather than by the many
sub-disciplines of phonetics.  This alphabetical arrangement makes the
dictionary accessible not only to the beginner but to the specialist
as well. Furthermore, the cross classificatory arrangement of its
entries makes it more user friendly.
