Course Content (Syllabus)
Τhe course aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the sound pattern of English. Both segmental and suprasegmental aspects of the language will be explored and several of the main concepts of phonetics and phonology will be discussed through exemplification from English. The course will begin with the description of the articulation of the English consonants and vowels and it will introduce the symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet that are used for the transcription of the English sounds. A discussion of phonemically distinct segments vs. allophonic variants will follow. The course will then proceed to a description of syllable structure and weight as well as English stress, intonation and rhythm. Major connected speech processes will also be discussed including assimilation, deletion, insertion, and reduction. Students will have the opportunity to have extensive practice in phonetic transcription throughout the course. Course handouts and other materials (audio files, videos, internet sites) are uploaded on elearning.
