What is phonemic transcription?
phonemic transcription is a system used to use letters or symbols to represent sounds in speech. It is probably different from the well -known phonetic transcription. Phonemic transcription provides less detail than phonetic transcription and focuses only on covering the information needed to avoid confusion.
The basis of phonetic and phonemic transcription is phonema. This is defined as the smallest part of the sound of a word that can be clearly defined as a separate sound that could affect the meaning of what one says. This may vary from language to tongue. For example, in English, there should be a difference between "D" and "T" in "Demet" and "Time" clearly distinguishable and it is sufficient to change the meaning. In some other languages, these two sounds would be expressed in the same way, which means that these two words cannot be distinguished. The Most Common Place People Will See and Phonetic Transcription is in dictionaries. Many transcripts use a standardized set of symbols, which means that it is possible for people to dotli and understood the pronunciations of words regardless of the language they speak.
Such Transcriptions Are Usually Classified as Broad or Narrow. Put Simply, The Narrower and Transcription, The More Precisely The Symbols Represent The Actual Sound of the Pronunciation. The disadvantage is that this usually requires more symbols that extend transcription and reduce the number of people who can use the system because they know all symbols. Phonemic Transcription Can Either Be Classified as A Very Broad Phonetic Transcription, Or AS Not A Phonetic Transcription at All. This is because it simply conveys the sound, and gives little or no additional information.
Specifically, Phonemic transcription does not distinguish between alophons, which are two sounds that are technically different, but if this difference is not a problem for communication. For example, "p" sounds in "penny" and "spend" are technically pronounced in a different way, and protrumo would usually be different in phonetic transcription. If the two sounds were replaced around, these two words could sound a little strange, but it would still be clear and would not be confused with another word. This means that they are alophons and are therefore both listed in the phonemic transcription.
