Course Content (Syllabus)
The course discusses major issues relating to the production, acoustics and perception of speech. It provides an overview of the speech production mechanism and offers a detailed account of the parameters used for the description of sounds and suprasegmental features. It proceeds with the acoustic properties of speech sounds and relates auditory-based impressionistic transcription to information based on the acoustic analysis of speech. It then examines key issues relating to the perception of speech units. In addition, building on basic principles in phonology (e.g. phoneme vs. allophone, feature theory, basic syllable structure), this course offers an overview of different phonological phenomena both at the segmental and the supra-segmental levels, as well as theoretical models, including rule- and constraint-based approaches.
