Course Details
• Phonetic Analysis: Introduction to the sounds of human language, transcription using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), and fundamental concepts of phonetics. • Feature Geometry: The hierarchical structure of phonological features, feature geometry theory, and their implications for phonological representation and processing. • Contrastive Analysis: Comparing phonological systems of different languages, identifying the distinctive features, and understanding the principles of contrast. • Phonological Processes: Major phonological processes, such as assimilation, deletion, insertion, and epenthesis, their triggers, and how they affect phonological systems. • Feature Systemization Theories: Overview of the main theories and models of feature systemization, focusing on the formalization of distinctive features in generative phonology. • Optimality Theory: Introduction to Optimality Theory, its constraints, and their role in shaping phonological representations and processes. • Phonological Acquisition: The development of phonological systems in first language acquisition, implications for feature systemization, and typical/atypical development patterns. • Computational Phonology: Computational models and algorithms for phonological feature systemization, and their applications in natural language processing and speech technology.
