- Course objectives
- The course goal is to explain the fundamental concepts, principles and methods of two disciplines dealing the sound shape of language - phonetics and phonology. Attention will be given to speech production, the classification of speech sounds and other phonic means (stress, intonation) both from the perspective of their formation and according to their acoustic properties.
- Learning outcomes
- At the end of the course the students will be able
- to understand and explain general problems of phonetics and phonology
- to apply scientific terminology and methods of phonetic research and to use this knowledge in their further studies
- to explain the process of speech production
- to characterize speech sounds according to their properties - to apply the international phonetic transcription to concrete languages, in particular on Czech - to explain and apply the fundamental phonological concepts - Syllabus
- 1) Phonetics, its position within linguistics
