DIACHRONIC STUDY OF EXPERIMENTAL PHONETICS
Abstract
The article is dedicated to analyzing the formation, historical development, and significant scientific achievements of experimental phonetics. The research examines the main stages of the development of experimental phonetics, interdisciplinary connections, and the impact of early phonetic laboratories. From the initial studies in experimental phonetics to contemporary interdisciplinary research, the article discusses the growth driven by new technologies, acoustic analysis tools, and instruments used for comprehensive speech recording and analysis. It highlights how the establishment of specialized mechanical models, methods for sound recording and analysis, and measurement tools have contributed to the emergence of experimental phonetics as a systematic scientific field. Additionally, the article analyzes the influence of scientific schools and laboratories in Germany, France, Russia, and Great Britain on the development of the discipline. It provides information about renowned scientists, their contributions, and scientific methods that have laid the groundwork for modern research. In contemporary linguistics, experimental phonetics is recognized as a crucial field that has gained particular significance through its historical phases. The article further explores how various cultural and interdisciplinary influences have shaped the formation and expansion of experimental phonetics. It also examines the impact of modern technologies, including acoustic analysis tools and visualization methods, on the scientific outcomes in this area. The research looks into contemporary software technologies that allow for comprehensive acoustic analysis of language and speech, particularly focusing on softwares like Praat. The analysis concludes that experimental phonetics reflects human physiology, psychological processes, and cultural factors while establishing itself as an essential science that informs future linguistic research through new concepts and methods.
