Learning outcomes
|
One aim of this course is to develop theoretical knowledge gained in the lecture (1A05/Fo01) and apply it to actual speech material. The second aim is to improve students' practical competence. Students are trained in perception/comprehension of English speech and in phonetic transcription (using IPA) of authentic utterances by speakers of the standard varieties of English (RP, GA) as well as their description on the segmental and prosodic levels.
Students will * expand their knowledge of phonetics * be able to describe basic varieties of English (RP, GA) * improve in using IPA for phonetic transcription * improve their skill in perceiving English speech * gain a better knowledge of speech acoustics
