Learning outcomes
On successful completion of this module, students will be able to: - apply the basic descriptive categories of phonology to the phonological system of German; - recognize the most important phonological processes of German; - describe the most important differences between the phonological systems of German and Italian; - carry out a phonetic transcription of Standard German words. - demonstrate to have the German language skills that correspond to the C1 level of the CEFR.
Program
Introduction to the phonetics and phonology of German
This course features four thematic units. In (1) "Phonetics" the foundations of acoustic and, most of all, articulatory phonetics will be introduced, the correlations between writing and pronunciation will be discussed and phonetic transcriptions of standard German words are trained. German and Italian sound systems will be compared. (2) "Segmental phonology" illustrates basic concepts of the phonological system and focuses then on the rules which operate between the underlying structure with the phonological representations of the words and their phonetic realization on the surface structure (final devoicing, r-vocalization etc.). (3) "Prosodic phonology" is dedicated to the phonological constituents, syllable structure and stress. In (4) "Diatopic and diaphasic variation" the variation of colloquial standard German due to the origins of the speakers and the speech situation are considered.
Note: this course is taught in German.
