| Summary | An intensive introduction to phonology and phonetics. It presupposes no background in the field but recognises that many students will have some familiarity with some of the ideas and terminology. It devotes considerable attention to practical problems (transcription, interpretation of instrumental records) that will be relevant for the areas covered by the participating MSc programmes. It is explicitly not restricted to the phonology and phonetics of English.
