PHONETICIZATION Meaning and
Definition
-
Phoneticization is a linguistic process that involves representing words or phrases from one language into another by using the phonetic system of the second language. It is a method employed to transcribe or transform the sounds of one language into symbols of another, facilitating pronunciation and understanding for non-native speakers. This process is primarily used when the source language lacks a purely phonetic writing system or when there is a need to accurately represent the pronunciation in a new context.
In phoneticization, the focus is mainly on the sounds of the words rather than their literal meanings or grammatical structures. It involves analyzing the phonetic features of the original language and mapping them onto the corresponding phonetic symbols or characters of the target language. This enables learners or readers of the target language to have a guide on how to correctly pronounce the unfamiliar word or phrase.
Phoneticization can be achieved through various methods such as transliteration or the creation of new phonetic spellings. It is commonly used in language learning materials, dictionaries, or guides to assist individuals in correctly pronouncing words from unfamiliar languages. However, it is important to note that phoneticization is an approximation and may not capture all the nuances and subtleties of the original pronunciation.

Etymology of PHONETICIZATION
The word "phoneticization" is derived from the word "phonetic", which is derived from the Greek word "phonē" meaning "sound" or "voice". The suffix "-ization" is derived from the French "-isation" or the Latin "-izare", both of which mean "to make" or "to become". Therefore, "phoneticization" combines these two elements to form a word meaning the act of making something phonetic or representing something in a phonetic way.
