Abstract

Language is our main tool of communication. Linguists should care about language use no matter if its use is correct or altered or impaired. In particular, phoneticians should apply the theoretical knowledge we have got about production (phonation or articulation), transmission and perception of sound to the clinical area in a broad sense, evolutio nary changes in the process of acquisition included. This aspect of phonetics (along with phonology) will: 1) achieve a better theoretical knowledge of phonic field, and 2) help people that, in our society, suffer conditions that affect language, especially speech, even in a preventive way.
