Relating to the sounds of spoken language.
Examples of phonetic in the following topics:
-
Levels of Processing
- There are three levels of processing for verbal data: structural, phonetic, and semantic.
- Phonetic processing is how we hear the word—the sounds it makes when the letters are read together.
- Phonetic processing is deeper than structural processing; that is, we are more likely to remember verbal information if we process it phonetically.
- To return to the example of trying to remember the name of a restaurant: if the name of the restaurant has no semantic meaning to you (for instance, if it's a word in another language, like "Vermicelli"), you might still be able to remember the name if you have processed it phonetically and can think, "It started with a V sound and it rhymed with belly."

Introduction to Language
- Phonetics is the study of individual speech sounds; phonology is the study of phonemes, which are the speech sounds of an individual language.
- These include phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics.

Stages of Sleep
- NREM, or non-REM, is pronounced phonetically as well, with the "N" standing alone ["en-rehm"].)
