Abstract
Discussing different aims and methods of studying foreign language pronunciation, this article argues that it is the phonetic analysis of speech that offers the best tool for valid and reliable research. After a brief presentation of the articulatory, acoustic and auditory ways of conducting an analysis, the main aims for the pronunciation studies and the methods are discussed. In search for a link between theory and practice, a parametric acoustic study of non-native vowel production is proposed as an example of the application of speech analysis to the pedagogical context.
