Advanced Topics in Phonetics: Speech Production and Perception (Honours) (U03198)

? Credit Points : 20 ? SCQF Level : 10 ? Acronym : PPL-3-ATPSPP-LS

This course will introduce students to theories of representations and processes in speech production and perception, along with supporting experimental evidence from classic and more recent journal articles. Some of the questions addressed are the nature of phonological representations used in speech production planning and perception, how articulations are controlled and coordinated, how articulatory patterns map onto acoustics, and how the acoustic signal is decoded into mental representations.

Summary of Intended Learning Outcomes

Students will learn:
- theories of representation and processes in speech production and perception;
- a range of experimental techniques that can be used to test these theories;
- how to interpret, evaluate, and summarise experimental findings in the literature;
- relevant steps and techniques involved in designing, running, analysing, and writing about a phonetic experiment, either in speech production or perception.
