Phonetic Analysis
Ling 151: Phonetic Analysis
This course provides an introduction to instrumental phonetic analysis—analysis using experimental methods. The emphasis is on the acoustics and perception of speech. Topics covered include sound waves; sources and acoustic properties of speech sounds; analysis of waveforms, pitch tracks, and spectrograms; perception of speech sounds. Course work will emphasize hands-on experience with speech analysis software, and students will learn about experimental design. A major theme throughout the quarter will be the role phonetic principles might have in explaining phonological patterns.Prerequisites: Ling 101 (Phonology One).
