Phonology I

This course offers an introduction to phonology (theories on speech sounds), with special emphasis on the presumed universal features of syllable and sound structures. The most current models of phonological analysis will be used. The relationship between phonological form and its phonetic realization is central to the course.

The objective is to familiarize the student with central concepts of phonological theory and analysis.
