Current Issues in Phonology - LING390
Phonology is that component of linguistic practice and theory that is at the interface between phonetics and grammar. In this unit we will examine phonological theory, the relationship between speech sounds and phonemes, the phonological organisation of speech sounds, prosody (stress, rhythm and tune of speech), the acquisition of phonology, the phonological basis of sound change, how patterns of phonology vary between languages (eg, English and Indigenous Australian languages), the phonology of tone languages (such as Chinese), and issues relevant to phonological disorders.
