Course
Course 7.5 credits • FONM10
The course introduces the general principles and properties which characterise possible sound systems in human languages. It covers principles of phonological representation, including sound categorization, lexical contrast, and constraints on the combination or sequencing of sound entities. Data from various languages serve as the basis for illustrating the representation of sound structure. Practical exercises in phonological analysis constitute a central part of the course. Both traditional phonemic theory as well as current approaches to phonological analysis, including autosegmental and metrical theory as well as optimality theory are presented in the course.
