BIO304 Phonetics
This course will provide students with an introduction to phonetic transcription of speech sounds using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) emphasizing articulatory phonetics of American English, its dialects, as well as the phonological patterns observed in typical and disordered speech. Students will be expected to read and transcribe broad and narrow phonetic symbols and become familiar with sociolinguistic factors and organic speech disorders that affect pronunciation.
