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.

Examination Methods
Final exams throughout the year are written. Students which attend classes regularly are offered the possibility to take a partial written exam during the course followed, after certification of the language skills, by another partial written exam on specific parts of the program. In the written exams students are expected to apply the expertise acquired during the course to a set of linguistic problems. The language of all exams is German.
Linguistic competence required: level C1, certified either by the CLA (Centro Linguistico di Ateneo) or by any other authorized testing center.
Students taking this exam must have completed the language and literature exams of the first and second year.
