- Broad and narrow phonetic transcription:
 A broad phonetic transcription gives us just enough information (phonemes) to  pronounce a word.
 A narrow phonetic transcription gives us detailed information (allophones) to pronounce a word.

Example:  
               to distinguish between the american and british  pronounciation of 
                                                 /r/  → broad phonetic transcriptionˈ

               better →   /be-tər/ (broad phonetic transcription)
 
               british pronounciation:        //       (narrow phonetic transcription)
               american pronounciation:   //           (narrow phonetic transcription)
the phoneme /r/ is split into allophones [],[]. The pronounciation of the word changes but its meaning stays the same.
