ENGL 383 - Phonetics

This course is designed for students seeking a foundation in phonetics (the study of speech sounds) for future academic and/or professional purposes. In this course, students study concepts in articulatory phonetics (the mechanisms involved in speech production) and acoustic phonetics (the transmission of physical properties of speech). Students acquire practical skills in reading and transcribing speech using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and in recording, editing, and analyzing speech using phonetic analysis software.
