- Class Description:
- This is a course on the production and perception of speech. In the first part of the course, we will explore the relationship between the way sounds are produced, and their resulting acoustic and auditory characteristics. In the second part of the course, we will examine how these sounds are perceived. There are three over-arching themes in this course. The first is to use experimental techniques to understand how sounds are represented cognitively. The second is to integrate laboratory and writing exercises. The third is to appreciate how the scientific method applies to questions related to spoken language. This course will expose students to a wide variety of techniques for measuring sound production and perception. Examples will be taken from a variety of languages, and from the speech of people with and without The course textbook is Keith Johnson's Acoustic and Auditory Phonetics (second edition).
