Introduction to Phonetics

LING 375

Terry Gottfried

Phonetics is an important part of linguistic scholarship that connects a number of disciplines (physics, physiology, psychology, computer science) in the study of linguistic phenomena.  It is a less abstract, less formal, and more empirical study of language than, e.g., syntax and phonology, but important for the discipline in the theories derived from its study (e.g., role of speech in language development and origins) and in its practical applications to artificial intelligence, speech pathology, and second language acquisition.  Course will be taught as lecture/demonstration with some laboratory exercises.
