KENI 2311-0

Brief

This course focuses on the comparison between different ways to characterize the inner workings of phonological processes and their interactions. The goals of this course are: (1) Surveying some basic phonological data: How do speech sounds work, pattern, and interact across the world’s languages? What properties do sound patterns share across every language in the world, and in what general ways do they differ? Much of this course will focus on patterns within and among sound segments, but later we will talk more about larger phonological units, like syllables and words. (2) Teaching students to analyze phonological data: Throughout the course we will look at lots of languages. In each case, you will look at some data, see patterns in that data, describe them as carefully as you can, use a theory to capture those patterns, and then assess how well the theory works – or even compare two theories’ abilities to capture the same data.
