SoSe 16: PS-Ling. Theory and Gram. of English: Levels of Linguistic Analysis II: Contrastive Phonology : English-German

Renate Raffelsiefen

Comments

The phonology of spoken language is concerned with the question of how meanings can be distinguished through differences in sound. The potential in question can be described in terms of an inventory of fundamental building blocks (so-called „phonemes“) and rules for combining these into syllables and words. In this course we will focus on vowels and compare the vowel inventories of English and German as well as the rules for organizing vowels in syllables.
Participants should contact me by e-mail (raffelsiefen@ids-mannheim.de) for the reading material, to be read thoroughly by the beginning of the course. close
