Extract
An international or, better, a universal phonetic alphabet is a set of conventions where each letter is equated with a physically well-identified speech sound. In scientific practice, the use of such an alphabet is imperative when an auditory or mechanical recording of vocal utterances is to be given a visual rendering. It must be kept in mind that the latter, a succession of discrete symbols, cannot be considered the exact equivalent of the former, a continuous flux.
