Thus we may that any language exists in its sounds and to master some foreign language we must know not only the orthography, but we must be able to recognize these sounds in connected speech and be able to reproduce these sounds correctly in order to contribute to the process of communication. To acquire this ability we must know the articulation of the sounds (articulatory phonetics), their acoustic properties (acoustic phonetics), their auditory features (auditory phonetics), and their phonological properties – their position; distribution, variation and how they are contrasted in speech – functional phonetics or phonology.
Note: It has been pointed out in the beginning of this essay that speaking about methods of phonetics we understand the latter one in terms of Russian/Soviet school. If we set phonetics and phonology completely apart from each other (as most Western researchers do) we need to exclude the method(s) of phonological analysis from the sphere of phonetics.
