The kind of spelling in which the same sound is consistently representedby the same letter of the alphabet is known as phonetic spelling.A spellingin which the sound of one word are represented by a group of lettersirrespective of the phonetic values which may be given to each of theseletters elsewhere,is called ideographic spelling.In ideographic spelling it isthe idea,thought or thing that is represented by the spelling and there is noindication of the pronunciation in such a spelling.A third kind of spelling isknown as mixed spelling.It is partly phonetic and partly ideographic.Englishis an example of a mixed spelling. In what is known as the science of phonetics the sound we make inspeech are treated independently of the way we set them down inalphabetical writing.To satisfy a universally felt need it has been foundnecessary to invent a phonetic writing where fixed symbols are made use ofin recording the actual sounds of speech without regard to the establishedconventions of spelling.With the help of such phonetic symbols it is possiblefor any men to write down a foreign language as he hears it,without anyunderstanding of the meaning of its words.This phonetic transcript can then be translated by anyone who knows the language.The phonetic writinguniversally accepted is that of the International Phonetic Association. The advantage of using a phonetic writing employing the symbols is thatactual pronunciation of words can be accurately indicated.After the fixationof English spelling by the printers in the 17th century,English pronunciationhas changed considerably.But these changes,especially those of the vowelinvolved in what is usually referred to as "the great vowel shift"are notrecorded
