LIN 295-01 - Special Topic: Phonetics and Phonology

4 credits (Spring)
What are the possible sounds of the world’s languages and how are they produced? How do speakers know which sounds to produce in which contexts in their language? In this course, we explore the articulatory and acoustic properties of speech sounds and learn to transcribe speech phonetically. We then find systematic patterns in the organization of sounds in different languages and consider how speakers represent and derive such patterns in their mental grammars.

Prerequisite: LIN 114 .
