This work proposes four guiding principles for the investigation of the interface between Phonetics and Phonology. These principles are based on experimental research and couched in practices from the areas of Experimental Phonetics and Sociolinguistics. The theoretical development of these two areas is thought to be anchored in four rules: the observer’s paradox, the link between speech production and perception, a greater detailing of inferential statistic results and the correlation between linguistic variables and phonetic quantities. These principles are exemplified by considering three themes: vowel harmony, stress clash and the building of a language’s phonological system.
