LANG 2150 Sound and Sound patterns of Language

This course examines the production, perception, and patterning of human speech sounds in English and other languages. Students will develop an understanding of the anatomy involved in speech production and perception, transcribe sounds using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), and formulate rules that capture regular sound patterns. The course develops skills in gathering and evaluating data, extracting generalizations, forming hypotheses, and identifying evidence for those hypotheses. These skills will be applied to issues of language acquisition and education.
