This course introduces students to the mechanisms of the production of speech sounds, e.g. vowels and consonants, their description, classification and transcription. The course will explore how speech sounds are organized across languages. We will practice how to establish speech sounds in a language (or phonemes) by using minimal pairs and complementary distribution. We will learn basic phonological processes which occur in language. The class is taught online asynchronously. There will occasionally be voluntary online-meetings for questions and discussion.
