This course introduces the segmental and suprasegmental patterns of English. Students learn about the system of
English phonemes, discuss individual sound segments, processes manifested in connected speech. In the second
part, emphasis is placed in standard lexical stress and rhythm which are analyzed and practiced along with
specific reduction elements and linking in connected speech. The seminar part of the course is dedicated to
building skills related to the analysis of English pronunciation, more specifically Standard British, as well as one's
own pronunciation.
