Hi dear English masters .
I've encountered some questions about linguistic and hope those guys who have academic studies of English will share their ideas with me :) .
The first question is :
"How can a limited number of symbols represent all the speech sounds of the world?"
2nd :
"Why can't we use phonetic symbols instead of our common alphabets?"
The questions are come out of the book "The Study Of Language" written by "George Yule".
I know it's a bit hard to answer these kinds of question which have not a specific answer and also are a topic for researches or compositions perhaps , but all in all , these 2 are the questions that I have to answer in our exam of the following wednesday :sad: .
I searched for the in the books but unfortunately nothing was found !
So I started lookin for them answer in the web and first of all Our English Section of the Forum ;) .
So i will be glad that you friends share your worthy ideas with me about these 2 question :happy: .
Best Regards
Ali
