Subject: Acoustic Phonetic Analysis
Question:
There are certain questions I have concerning Acoustic Phonetic Study since I am a student in this field. They are as follows:

1. What is the scope of doing Acoustic Phonetic Analysis of the vowels or consonants of any of the languages in the world? Would the results of acoustic analysis be used for any purposes?

2. If I do the Acoustic Analysis with the help of softwares like PRAAT or SPEECH ANALYSER, can it be selected for extensive research studies like a Ph.D?

3. Would there be any linguistic significance for such a work?

I would appreciate any tips which would help clarifying my doubts so that I can engage in this research work.
