Pre-requisites

Visiting students should have completed at least 3 Linguistics/Language Sciences courses at grade B or above. We will only consider University/College level courses. Visiting Students should have a strong background in Theoretical Phonology.

Course Summary

This course tackles advanced issues in phonology by drawing on theoretical analyses of phonological phenomena in a wide variety of typologically diverse languages. Specific attention is given to interface phenomena and the ways in which morphology - phonology and phonologyphonetics interactions can be accounted for theoretically. Theoretical issues in derivational and representational frameworks will be examined, and constraint-based models of grammar (including stratal/cyclic models) will be studied in detail. The question of how experimental results can be incorporated into phonological analyses and issues concerning the empirical grounding of phonological theory will also be discussed.
