[edit] Wells PDF file
There is a 29-page PDF about phonetic transcription and analysis by Prof. John Wells written, it says on his website, for a "forthcoming encyclopedia". A lot of the material will be covered in Wikipedia already in various articles on phonetics topics, but it might be a good idea for someone knowledgeable to make use of Wells's work, which is after all written as an encyclopedia article, as a guide to expand the stub we currently have here. — Trilobite (Talk) 14:03, 16 Feb 2005 (UTC)

- yes, it is not bad. he focuses on IPA, which is his thing. he only mentions alphabetic notation — although this is the major type of phonetic notation, there are others worth mentioning. i think the following is a very good article:

[edit] phonetic notation
hi. i didnt know that this page existed before i made phonetic notation article. maybe merge? — ishwar (SPEAK) 06:31, 2005 Jun 14 (UTC)
- Well the article you wrote is obviously much more comprehensive than this. I notice someone has already added the content here there. It needs to be merged better, if there is anything here that isn't already covered there. I think however, that the final article should be caled "phonetic transcription" because that's the more commonly used term, with a redirect of course from "phonetic notation". Cheers!

[edit] Broad and narrow
I've just upgraded this section from a stub in a way which I hope is helpful. However, I had problems with the IPA symbols which don't show correctly on my browser. Perhaps someone could check that these are correct. --Doric Loon 22:09, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] "Copied from IPA"
Why does this article have a great big section copied from the IPA article? This means that it has to continuously be kept in sync with that article. I can think of two solutions: (a) We should abolish it, and rewrite it to include the necessary parts. A link can easily be established to the IPA article (or vice versa) for more detail on the IPA in particular or phonetic transcription in general. (b) We could just add the copied-over text to a template, and edit the template. That way, the articles are always in sync automatically.
I much prefer the first option, but maybe someone has other suggestions or reasons for the actual copying you should add on new things as a prize.
