Excerpt from The Sounds of Spoken English: A Manual of Ear Training, for English Students The physicist considers the production of sounds from another point of view; he measures the waves of sound with delicate instruments. The physiologist, again, studies the organs of speech in a state of health and sickness. From all these the phonetician derives assistance. His concern is the spoken language generally. He seeks to ascertain how sounds are produced, and how they are represented in writing he traces the changes which sounds undergo according to time and place; he attempts to determine the standard of speech for his own time and his own surroundings he considers how the pronunciation is best imparted to the young and to foreigners.
