The aim of the course is to provide the student with the practical skills and the conceptual framework to do further work in phonetics and phonology, especially as this involves sound change, speech perception, and psycholinguistics of phonology. It will give training in the production, perception, physiological description, and accepted IPA transcription of the speech sounds used in the languages of the world. The course will also cover how phonetics and phonology may be practiced in an integrated way in such traditional concerns as the phonological reconstruction of a language’s history and explaining phonological universals (of segment inventories, of sound sequencing) as well as in the newer domains of speech technology and the psycholinguistics of phonology.
