Students will acquire skills in recognizing, producing, and describing in linguistic terms the sounds of Spanish and in understanding and analyzing the Spanish sound system. The conceptual component will involve understanding the relationship between sounds in the Spanish phonological system and studying other factors (linguistic, social, etc.) that influence this system.
