Phonetics – Phonology | Ling396 (undergraduate course): This course offers an introduction to the sound system of languages. Phonological alternations, metrical and prosodic characteristics of words and phrases as well as language-particular and universal generalizations are all explored from the perspective of generative grammar. Besides introducing the basic tenets of Generative Phonology, the course also aspires at helping students develop their critical thinking and analytic skills so that they will gradually be led to a better understanding of how the sound system of the human language is structured.
