Phonic Substance

语音实体

A term used by some phoneticians and linguists to refer to speech seen as a set of physically definable acoustic, articulatory or auditory properties. The importance of this notion is that it constitutes an empirical datum to which theories of language must ultimately relate.

有些语音学家和语言学家用此术语指将言语视为一批可从物理上定义的声学、发音或听觉特性。这一概念的重要性在于语音实体是各种语言理论最终必须参考的经验数据。
