Course Information
Description
Sound and Mind
Experimentation has emerged as an important methodology for studying phonological knowledge, the mental representation of sound patterns in language. In this course, students learn about current approaches to analyzing sound patterns of a diverse set of languages using experimental methods. We read foundational and recent papers that develop methods for relating phonological form (syllable structure, phonotactics, alternations, stress, and tone) to its expression in articulatory and acoustic phonetics. We also discuss methods for conducting experimental work in the context of field research, where access to traditional laboratory facilities is limited.
