Course

Semester 4

Introduction to English Phonetics and Phonology

The course is intended to provide students with a sufficient understanding of Phonetics and English Phonology. The course starts with segmental phonology. In that will be discussed
how speech sounds are produced and how they are classified in terms of the way they are produced. The second part discusses units larger than segments, namely syllables and words, stress, and intonation. The last part discusses the common phonological processes in English. During this course, the students often have to compare the phonology of English and that of their mother tongues.
