This course will investigate sound in language from five different perspectives: alphabet (units), acoustics, articulation, prosody and learning. 

This course will introduce students to various aspects of phonetics and phonology. In each of the five sessions, we will look at one aspect, but also draw connections to other domains. For each session, we will ask you to prepare a bit of reading and a short homework task to allow you to better engage with the content and ideas.

This course is offered by the Institute for Language Sciences, the home of linguistic and communications research at Utrecht University. It is part of a set of four 4-day ILS Summer School courses: there is a € 50 discount when taking two of these courses.
