äänneperusteisesti

äänneperusteisesti is a Finnish adverb that translates to "phonetically" or "based on sound" in English. It describes a method of analysis, classification, or organization that relies on the sounds of language rather than other features such as spelling, meaning, or grammatical function.

In linguistics, the term "äänneperusteisesti" is often used in the context of phonetics and phonology. For example, when classifying vowels or consonants, a phonetic approach would consider how the sounds are produced in the vocal tract and how they are perceived, rather than how they are represented in writing. Similarly, when studying historical language change, sound-based changes (äännemuutokset) are a primary focus of analysis.

The concept of an "äänneperusteinen" approach can extend beyond linguistic studies. It can be applied to any field where distinguishing and categorizing elements based on their auditory characteristics is important. For instance, in music theory, one might analyze musical pieces "äänneperusteisesti" by focusing on the pitches, rhythms, and timbres present. In the field of speech technology, algorithms are developed to process and understand spoken language "äänneperusteisesti," converting audio signals into linguistic information. The core idea is always to prioritize the audible aspect for understanding or organization.
