Within this modules we aim to ensure that you are given the necessary tools to undertake phonological description, providing the theoretical background which will help you to develop skills in the analysis of data and the formulation and solving of problems,
together with the appraisal of existing theories and analyses.
The aims of the module are:
• To familiarise students with the main tools and methods of current phonological theories
• To explore and analyse phonological data from a wide variety of typologically diverse languages
• To develop critical-thinking skills of comparing competing analyses and evaluating phonological argumentation
By the end of the module, students will be able to:
1. Describe phonological patterns using a sophisticated range of parameters
2. Develop and implement formal analyses of phonological data within current theories
3. Evaluate the soundness of phonological analyses using appropriate evidence and argumentation
No additional information available.
The classes will be delivered in seminar style with some dedicated lecture time to discuss and introduce concepts and time for problem solving and group work, discussions and presentations. Students will be expected to do some reading in preparation for class.
