| Popis: | The aim of this paper is to answer the two questions ‘What is phonetics?’ and ‘Is it a discipline in its own right?’ Because there seem to exist different answers, these questions are of some interest. Sometimes, phonetics is seen as less than a fully fledged discipline, i.e. merely a part of other disciplines. But on the other hand, it seems equally true that phonetics can be said to be more than just one single discipline, in which case we would get a whole set of ‘phonetic sciences’. Neither of those two paradoxical, or even contradictory, alternatives presents a satisfying solution. In the following we would like to show that phonetics can be called a well-defined discipline in exactly two different senses. Phonetics can be seen as one of two very specific versions of scientifically approaching what will be called the phonetic facts of spoken language. Such facts are a necessary condition for every natural speech act, because there is no speech act without observable phonetic facts. Together, these two versions of scientifically dealing with phonetic facts, a smaller and a larger one, form phonetics as a whole discipline in its own right. This contribution to the Festschrift is written in German, mainly because its title cannot be easily translated into English; for further explanations, please refer to note on p. 158. |
