phonetician

The original cast included Rex Harrison as Professor Henry Higgins, an irascible phonetician in Edwardian London who gives speech lessons to a Cockney flower girl, Eliza Doolittle.

One such quirk has already been discovered, by the neuroscientist Sophie Scott: an extra loop of gray matter, present from birth, in the auditory cortex of some phoneticians.

It’s not enough that her own father sells her for five pounds to the bully phonetician Henry Higgins.

Otto Jespersen was another admirer, calling Hart’s principles ‘excellent’ and the man himself ‘an honest scholar’ and ‘the first phonetician of the modern period.’

Pymalion by George Bernard Shaw is a classic comedy in which a well-known phonetician places a bet that he can transform a flower girl into a 'true lady' in a mere couple of months.
