Phonetics vs Phenetics - What's the difference?
phonetics | phenetics |
(linguistics) The study of the physical sounds of human speech, concerned with the physical properties of speech sounds (phones), and the processes of their physiological production, auditory reception, and neurophysiological perception, and their representation by written symbols.
(systematics) A form of numerical systematics in which organisms are grouped based upon the total or relative number of shared characteristics.

- We have seen in Chapter 6 and the previous chapters that dissatisfaction with traditional taxonomy gave rise, after the Second World War, to two distinct attempts at a remedy - phenetics and cladistics.

- Microbial systematics has enjoyed two major advances in the latter half of this century: the introductions of numerical phenetics' and molecular techniques for direct comparisons of organismal genomes. Numerical ' phenetics (taxonomy) was very influential during the 1960s and 70s in providing the first objective approach to bacterial classification.

- One of the most famous and fully developed arguments along these lines, was a justification for phenetics , a school of systematic thought that proposed mathematical methods for grouping organisms based on measurements of similarity {Sokal and Sneath 1963).
