Learning outcomes

The goal of this course is to introduce students to the analysis of the German phonological system.

Program

"Introduction to the phonology of German"
This course introduces the basic concepts of articulatory phonetics and phonology which will then be used to investigate the phonological system of German. Topics of discussion include the German vowel and consonant system, the major phonological processes active in German (final devoicing, r-vocalization, aspiration etc.) and the German syllable structure. The phonological structures of German will systematically be compared with the equivalent structures of Italian. This course is taught in German.
