Welcome
to the Speech Internet Dictionary (SID). The aim of SID is to
provide concise definitions of technical terms used in phonetics,
phonology, speech and hearing science and allied disciplines.
Where appropriate, SID aims also to give examples,
provide illustrations and sound clips. For some terms, references
for further exploration of a topic are also provided. If you find that the term you are
looking for is not given, please contact us and we will consider
adding it.
