This course is meant to repeat the major concepts within Phonetics with special emphasis on those topics that are relevant for students of English. It is subdivided into three parts:
- A general survey of articulatory phonetics
- A short introduction to auditory phonetics
- A discussion of the most important physical aspects of speech and the most widely used experimental techniques.
Since many universities confine their curriculum to articulatory phonetics, this part is given maximum attention in the course.
Students are expected to study on their own. The theoretical foundations should be researched, the material to be analyzed is supported by sample solutions with numerous hints and explanations.
