Schedule Noticeboard

Annotation -

The course is dedicated to socially conditioned variability in speech, from the perspective of both the production and perception of speech. The phonetic realization of the sound patterns of a given language changes with a wide range of factors like the speaker’s sex/gender, socioeconomic status or ethnicity, reflecting the construction of one’s identity. The seminars are dedicated to auditory and acoustic analyses of selected speech samples.
The course is taught in English.
