Introducing Principles and Practices of Phonetics Through Enquiry-Based Learning
Phonetics is the study and description of human speech sounds, their articulatory and acoustic properties, and how the speech signal is conveyed from the speaker to hearer. This project aims to introduce first-year undergraduate students to the practice of phonetic transciption, description and data analysis, and to the concepts of 'linguistic fieldwork' using self-collected and analysed data. The data will come from the participation of Language Informants, whose representative phonetic properties will enrich the students' ear training and analytical skills. We aim to create a digital corpus of audio-visual data to be used across a range of taught modules at undergraduate and postgraduate levels.
