Syllabus
The first half of the workshop will be based on the discussions of selected readings. These readings will represent the main (extreme) approaches to the relationship between phonetics and phonology (modular, quasi-modular, fully phonological non-modular, and fully phonetic non-modular). The second half of the workshop will consist of discussions of methodologically oriented exercises.
These will revolve around specific phenomena and how to determine whether their status is phonetic or also phonological.
The readings used in the first half of the workshop will feed into this second half, and it is essential that participants come prepared. Participants are further encouraged to email me about phenomena that are of particular interest to them.
Annotation
Teacher: Michaela Hejná
The advent of more precise acoustic and articulatory techniques in the study of speech production has stimulated debates surrounding the question which is fundamental within the phonological domain of language: how do we establish whether a certain phenomenon is of a phonological nature? The existence of uncertain or "difficult" phenomena in this regard has stimulated interest in the phonetics-phonology interface.
