LIN 295-02 - Special Topic: Phonology

4 credits (Fall)

In this course, we will investigate the way that sounds behave in spoken human languages and how they are distributed in the world’s languages. We will explore and theorize how the mind organizes sound, and we will identify common phonological processes by doing problem sets on a variety of languages. We will also consider the relationship between sound and other levels of linguistic description and explore different models for explaining the behavior of sounds within a given language.

Prerequisite: LIN 114.
