Description of speech sounds; transcription systems; articulation; acoustics of speech sounds
The three basic language structures of phonology (sound structure), morphology (word structure), and syntax (sentence structure) will be illustrated on a number of levels.
An introduction to the study of sound patterns in human languages.
This course examines the fundamentals of distinctive?feature analysis as developed by Jakobson, Chomsky, and Halle.
During this course, students have the opportunity to build their knowledge of phonology and morphology by reviewing current research and literature and demonstrating their knowledge and skills by teaching a micro-lesson
