Description
This course presents the theory and practice of German phonetics and phonology, its practical applications (e.g., the use of pronunciation dictionaries), and material realizations in standard German. Some areas of theory covered include the physiology of speech, the International Phonetic Alphabet, as it relates to German, and phonetic transcription. Emphasis is placed on the relationship between pronunciation and orthography and on correcting the student's oral performance in German, including a study of intonation patterns in German.
