Amplification (== Template:IPA

The Template:IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) is a system of phonetic notation based primarily on the Latin alphabet. It was devised by the International Phonetic Association in the late 19th century as a standardized representation of the sounds of spoken language.

Pronunciation

The pronunciation of the term "IPA" is /aɪ piː eɪ/ in English.

Etymology

The term "IPA" is an acronym for the International Phonetic Alphabet. The International Phonetic Association, founded in 1886, created the IPA to provide a single, universal system for the transcription of spoken language.

Related Terms

  • Phonetic notation: A system used to visually represent the sounds of speech. The IPA is one type of phonetic notation.
  • Phonetics: The study of the physical sounds of human speech. It is concerned with the physical properties of speech sounds (phonemes), and the processes of their physiological production, auditory reception, and neurophysiological perception.
  • Phonology: The study of the way sounds function within a particular language or languages. While phonetics concerns the physical production, acoustic transmission and perception of the sounds of speech, phonology describes the way sounds function within a particular language or languages.
  • Transcription (linguistics): The systematic representation of spoken language in written form. The source of the words transcribe and transcription, the term means "to write across" in Latin, and it's the process of converting spoken language into written form. In linguistics, this is often done using the IPA.

Amplification is a term used in various fields of study, including medicine, genetics, and biochemistry. In a medical context, amplification refers to the increase in the number of copies of a specific DNA or RNA sequence. This can occur naturally within the body or be induced in a laboratory setting.

Etymology

The term "amplification" comes from the Latin word amplificare, which means "to enlarge or expand". In the context of genetics and biochemistry, it was first used in the mid-20th century to describe the process of increasing the number of copies of a specific DNA or RNA sequence.

Related Terms

  • Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR): A laboratory technique used to amplify a single or few copies of a piece of DNA across several orders of magnitude, generating thousands to millions of copies of a particular DNA sequence.
  • Gene Amplification: A process that increases the copy number of a particular gene in the genome, often leading to an increase in the expression of the amplified gene.
  • Signal Amplification: In biochemistry, this refers to the process by which an event or stimulus results in a large response due to the activation of a cascade of reactions.
  • DNA Replication: The process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules.
