<p>As this course unit is a combination of phonetic and phonological components:</p><ul> <li> An understanding of current approaches to studying the production and perception of speech sounds (both articulatory and acoustic aspects); a competency in the description of human language sounds; the ability to accurately recognize and transcribe these sounds</li> <li> An introduction to the fundamental theoretical questions and issues in patterns of sounds; an introduction to syllable structure as it relates to other prosodic constituents; an overview of other phonological topics, e.g. phonological features, syllable structure.</li></ul>
<p>By the end of this course students will be able to: </p><ul role="list"> <li aria-setsize="-1" data-aria-level="1" data-aria-posinset="1" data-font="Symbol" data-leveltext="¿" data-listid="2" role="listitem"><p><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><span style="font-size:12.0pt"><span style="color:black">Transcribe speech sounds, understand phonological rules and their interrelationships, express awareness of representational units in phonology"</span></span></span></span></p></li></ul>
<p>By the end of this course students will be able to:</p><p>Learn and apply techniques for data analysis, and critical analysis, create and assess coherent arguments, gain familiarity with speech sounds, their means of production, and the appropriate IPA symbols used to transcribe them</p>
<p>By the end of this course students will be able to:</p><p>Gain and use skills in problem solving, resource location (appropriate literature location, procurement & analysis), (transcription) conventions</p>
<p>The ability to undertake successful self-directed study and learning, critical reading skills, appropriate time-management; Students will also gain skills in computer & software use and analysis.</p>
