Assessment 1: Written Assignment

A-C  Three acoustic phonetic data exercises.

This module develops your skills in the phonetic and phonological approach to language analysis. It will build upon your knowledge from Introduction to Descriptive Linguistics, while introducing new levels of phonetic and phonological analysis. This module will cover the basics of articulatory and impressionistic phonetics, the basics of acoustic analysis of speech, commonly used phonological notation, and the position of phonology within linguistics. You will be introduced to a new piece of software to conduct acoustic analysis of speech and also be provided the tools to analyse and describe sound alternations in different languages.

AIL2509 - PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY

PHONETICS AND PHONOLOGY

have knowledge and understanding of the relationship between major articulatory features and their acoustic correlates.

will have knowledge and understanding of the range of phonological patterns that these concepts are supposed to explain.

have the ability to present a phonological analysis according to the norms of the discipline.

have the ability to label events such as the presence of voicing, vowel height, and vowel frontness/backness

have the ability to identify important acoustic aspects such as formants, bursts, transitions, closures, and friction.

have the ability to use phonological concepts (such as features, rules, and constraints) in an analysis.

have knowledge and understanding of key representative concepts in phonology (phonemes, features, syllables, rules/constraints etc).

have the ability to identify examples of phonological patterns in a dataset.

have knowledge and understanding of waveforms, spectra, and spectrograms.

have the ability to produce pictures of waves and spectrograms to insert into documents.
