The phonoanalogical representation allows an intuitive learning, which develops the sensitivity towards the phonoarticulatory phenomena. The modular structure facilitates the coding of the most complex phones and the expandability allows easy updating of the alphabet according to new needs. This book is an educational text for the study of Fonic for Esperanto. ...   

The Fonic alphabet is a phonoanalogic and phonosymbolic writing system, simple and intuitive, modular and expandable, designed to allow the phonetic transcription of historical-natural languages and to grant the proper oral reproduction of foreign languages, consistently reducing the pronunciation errors of unknown words. The phonoanalogic representation allows intuitive learning, which develops sensitivity towards the phonoarticulatory phenomena. The modular structure facilitates the coding of the more complex phones and the expandability allows the easy updating of the system according to new needs. This book is a didactic text for the study of Fonic for Italian, beginning with learning the simplest words, in order to understand and assimilate immediately the shape of the Fonic symbols and their ability to reproduce the pronunciation parameters of the phones they represent.
