Course Content (Syllabus)
This course presents recent developments in phonological theory. The topics investigated involve various aspects of segmental and suprasegmental phonology including stress, syllabification, syllable weight-related phenomena, autosegmental phenomena such as tone and harmony, as well as featural processes, among others. Likewise, both rule-based and constraint-based models are considered. In-class exercises, data-set analysis and assignments are designed to further develop students’ analytical skills. Where appropriate, the interaction of phonology to other domains of linguistics, such as morphology, phonetics, typology, etc. is addressed
