Phonetic symbols are symbols for recording phonemes and are symbols for writing phonemes. Its formulation principle is: a phoneme is represented by only one phonetic symbol, but a phonetic symbol does not only represent one phoneme (a diphthong is composed of 2 phonemes). English includes American English, British English, etc. Different English dictionaries have different phonetic symbol systems. The pronunciation of American English and British English is also different, so the number of phonetic symbols is also different. In China, we usually learn 48 phonetic symbols, which is Phonetic symbols of the British English Pronunciation Dictionary.

English has 44 phonemes. Because modern phonetics believes that /tr/,/dr/,?/ts/,?/dz/?these four are not independent phonemes, but a concatenation of consonants.

Extended information:

Generally speaking, the International Phonetic Alphabet can be divided into broad and narrow senses.

The International Phonetic Alphabet in a broad sense does not refer to the phonetic symbols we see in the process of learning English, but refers to the IPA Phonetic Alphabet (The International Phonetic Alphabet), that is, the (broad) International Phonetic Alphabet. More than a hundred symbols.

In a narrow sense, the International Phonetic Alphabet refers to the English International Phonetic Alphabet, and in a narrower sense, it refers to the DJ Phonetic Alphabet. Because it is used to mark the pronunciation of English, it is generally called the International Phonetic Alphabet of English. Later, it was simply shortened to the International Phonetic Alphabet in China.

DJ phonetic symbols and KK phonetic symbols are both types of (broadly defined) international phonetic symbols. The (broad) International Phonetic Alphabet is designed to mark the pronunciations of various international languages. Many linguists have made partial modifications to the (broad) International Phonetic Alphabet to mark the languages ??they study, so there are many kinds of International Phonetic Alphabets.

Today's English publications basically use two phonetic notation systems to mark the pronunciation of words: American English publications use K.K. phonetic notation, and British English publications use DJ phonetic notation.

Chinese people currently mainly study American English pronunciation. The dubbing tapes of various teaching materials are almost all dubbed by Americans, but the phonetic symbols used in the books are the International Phonetic Alphabet used to mark British pronunciation. , so that the International Phonetic Symbols in the book become a set of phonetic symbols "for reference only" and cannot become reliable and accurate phonetic symbols.
