Outline and objectives

This course will cover the basic notions of articulatory, acoustic, and auditory phonetics and phonology.
We will explore how speech sounds are produced in articulatory organs, how these sounds travel in the air and auditory pathways, and how they are perceived in the listener’s brain.

Goal

Students are going to learn about the mechanisms of speech perception and production. We will explore how articulatory organs are coordinated when we produce speech sounds, how speech sounds propagate in the air, and how these sounds are perceived and understood. There are three main goals.
(1) Students understand the basic physiology (i.e., articulatory organs and hearing organs).
(2) Students understand the physical representation of speech sounds and the mental representation of language.
(3) Students understand how speech sounds are produced and understood in daily situations.

Which item of the diploma policy will be obtained by taking this class?

Will be able to gain “DP 2” and “DP 4”.
