Introduction Phonetics is quite a unique and specific branch of linguistics, especially, in the sense that there is, probably, no such other branch, or segment, or discipline within the limits of the science about language and speech that could encompass with such an obviousness and with such a contradictoriness both the material and the ideal circles of phenomena that we usually unite under the term – language. Phonetics (and phonology, be the latter separate or a part of the former) is the field where linguistics suggests an immediate application to other spheres of science and life, and where it embraces openly knowledge from other spheres of science, such as mathematics, statistics, physics, computer technology, telecommunication, and even from art, such as music or poetry. The theme of the course paper is “Peculiarities of Modern English Phonetic System”. Modern phonetics began with Alexander Melville Bell, whose Visible Speech (1867) introduced a system of precise notation for writing down speech sounds. The actuality of the theme is that modern phonetics have been changed greatly since old times but still now we can see that influence. That is why we should discuss these changes to see the difference and similar.
