phonetician

Indeed, an experienced phonetician should have no difficulty in inventing sounds that are unknown to objective investigation.

This is unlikely on the part of a determined phonetician like Orm, who would naturally be impatient of traditional spellings.

We are trained to imitate strange noises of all sorts, and the phonetician is ready to show us how to make them.

We owe a good deal to a phonetician called Cooper, whose Grammatica Anglicana was published in 1685.
