The module will start with a general introduction to the fields of language variation and change, and phonetics and phonology. In the lectures, we will address theoretical aspects of the field, which will be combined with discussions of the most vigorous changes affecting today’s English accents. In the seminars, we will explore some of the phonetic/phonological variation of the sounds in question and learn how to analyse them.

After taking this module, the student will be able to carry out basic phonetic analyses and have a good overview of those aspects which are the most relevant for the study of English varieties.
