How can we track all of the sounds of language, exactly how we hear them? Why aren't our regular writing systems up to the challenge? This week on The Ling Space, we talk about the International Phonetic Alphabet: what it is, why we need it, and how the charts are arranged. Plus, we made our own IPA charts!
This is Topic #12!
