CDS 230 - Phonetics

Units: 3
When Offered: Fall, Spring
Phonetics is the study of the sounds that make up language. Both phonetic theory and practical phonetic analysis will be studied. Students in this course will learn how to transcribe English (and some non-English) sounds using the International Phonetic Alphabet. They will also learn how the sounds of language are produced and how to use software that generates sonograms - visual representations of the sounds. The analysis of sonograms is a useful clinical as well as prominent research tool.
