Course Description |
LING 415/515: Phonetics
This course introduces students to the scientific study of sounds used in languages of the world. Students
will be trained in the classification, the perceptual discrimination, and the production of linguistic sounds.
In addition, they will become familiar with the acoustic record of those sounds and develop some skill at
reading spectrograms. Although the concentration will be on English and more familiar languages (Asian
and European), we will also look at a number of less familiar languages.
