Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

This course will build on the basic introduction to phonetics provided in the introductory linguistics lecture course (201) and study applications of phonetics and phonology in the description of varieties of English, including English as a lingua franca. Transcription and analytical skills will be further developed to include suprasegmental aspects of pronunciation, and students will be introduced to a number of computer-assisted analytical software packages. The adequacy and relevance of a range of theoretical concepts will also be considered. Students' own research will focus on the description of a particular variety or model of English pronunciation, or on different theoretical approaches in phonetics and/or phonology

Assessment: class participation; oral presentation; final research project (2,500 - 3,000 words)
