Course description |
Focusing on selected phenomena in the phonology of Present-day English, this course is specifically concerned with theory issues as they arise in relation to English. Attention is paid in equal parts to matters of representation and derivation; a recurent theme is the interaction of the phonology with neighbouring disciplines (such as phonetics and morphology).
