Linguistics 4247A
Advanced Phonological Analysis

Prerequisite(s): Permission of the program.

Course Description:

This is an advanced phonology course for fourth-year undergraduates and masters students in linguistics. The course addresses the interface between phonetics and phonology by focusing on the study of aspects of sound structure using recorded speech.

While studying the segmental and suprasegmental phonological properties of the sound structure of natural languages, a prominent place will be given to prosodic phonology, particularly stress and intonation patterns. In addition to a variety of online learning activities, students will complete a number of steps in a research project: literature review, data analysis, abstract, oral presentation, and final paper.
