I'm looking for a short overview of #IPA that would be approachable by #CS students with only minimal background in #linguistics and #phonetics. The goal is to have them be able to understand modern #G2P and #P2G systems. Any ideas?

I have been using some lecture notes that I wrote for this purpose, but it would be nice to have something that was produced by an expert.

I should clarify that the article should not introduce grapheme-to-phoneme but should introduce enough of the conceptual foundations of IPA that they can understand how it is used in G2P and so on.

How about part I of the Handbook of the International Phonetic Association, "Introduction to the IPA"? It is only 34 pp long and I think does a pretty good job of giving the expert consensus on what the IPA is, what it does and does not do, and ends with some discussion of its use in segmenting and labelling spectrograms etc, and the problems attending to that.

@ancientsounds That actually sounds perfect. I think I accidentally gave my copy of the Handbook of the IPA away, so I'll have to buy a new one πŸ˜ƒ
