Study of aspects of language oddities encountered using mobiles? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

phonetics

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'study' is the definition.
(phonetics is a kind of study)

'aspects of language oddities encountered using mobiles?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'language' could be 'c' (C is an example) and 'c' is found in the answer.
'using' could be 'on' (someone using drugs is 'on' them) and 'on' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for phonetics that I've seen before include "Study of speech sounds" , "Branch of knowledge concerned with speech sounds" , "Science of speech sounds" .)
