Course description:
\n<\/strong><\/span>Students are taught the fundamentals of contemporary phonetics and phonology. The course starts with a survey of the basic notions of articulatory phonetics, focusing on the standard pronunciation varieties of British and American English (RP, SSBP, and GenAm). The students are familiarized with the basic approaches of contemporary phonological theory, which are applied to the analysis of the most important English pronunciation phenomena and the formulation of the basic English phonological rules. This also includes suprasegmental phenomena, which are analysed in terms of phonetic transcription, using IPA notational conventions.<\/p>\n

Objectives:
\n<\/strong><\/span>Students should learn to approach English pronunciation descriptively, as opposed to the earlier prescriptive approach, which they were used to in the course of pre-university English learning. In order to develop this kind of approach, i.e., to learn how to describe English pronunciation phenomena in a scientific way, through this course the student should develop the ability of selective listening and master the basic notions and terms of phonological and phonetic description.<\/span><\/p>\n
