Annotation -
The course allows students to gain a comprehensive insight into research methodology and current theoretical issues in speech sciences. Against the backdrop of their own approach to the methodological issues of their dissertation project, students are introduced to the current possibilities of methods used in other branches of phonetic research. Students learn to view research methods in a broader context and to critically evaluate their possibilities and limitations.
The content of the seminar is based primarily on discussions of theoretical and methodological issues arising from the dissertation projects of individual PhD students, but also of reading relevant sources.
The thematic areas of the examination depend on the nature and topic of the dissertation project.

Course completion requirements -

Active participation of at least 75% is required for a pass. Active participation implies a proper and informed discussion of methodological aspects of current dissertation projects or related studies.

The exam consists in presenting a specific and complete methodology of the dissertation project based on knowledge of the relevant literature. The justification of individual methodological choices must be properly argued. The written exam materials are to be submitted 2 weeks prior to the exam.
