Answer:

C. Studying individual speech sounds

Read Explanation:

Phonetics

  • Phonetics primarily focuses on studying individual speech sounds and their production.
  • ഭാഷയിലെ ശബ്ദത്തിൻ്റെ individual യൂണിറ്റുകളെക്കുറിച്ചുള്ള പഠനമാണിത് (study of individual units of sound in language)
  • The production of speech looks at the interaction of different vocal organs, for example the lips, tongue and teeth, to produce particular sounds. അതായത് ഓരോ ശബ്ദം എവിടുന്ന് വരുന്നു - e.g. M (മ) - lips
  • സംസാരിക്കുമ്പോൾ മാത്രമല്ല എഴുതുമ്പോഴും ഓരോ വാക്ക് കൃത്യമായി spell ചെയ്യാനും ഇത് സഹായിക്കുന്നു.
