Broad transcription is a method of phonetic transcription that represents speech sounds with a general level of detail, focusing on the most distinctive features of pronunciation while omitting finer nuances. It typically uses symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to capture the essential sounds of words without indicating specific variations or allophones. For example, the word "cat" may be transcribed as /kæt/, highlighting the key sounds without detailing variations in pronunciation that might occur in different dialects. Broad transcription is useful in linguistic studies and language teaching because it provides a clear and straightforward representation of speech sounds.
