Together with the accompanying two-hour exercise session (Tue 10-12) this course gives an overview of the three main areas of Speech Science: speech production, the acoustic structure of speech and speech perception. The topics covered include the anatomy and physiology of speech production; articulation and the symbolic representation of speech; theories of speech production control; the source-filter model of speech production and the acoustic properties of sound classes; the ear and hearing physiology, theories of speech perception.
Completion of exercises; written exam at end of term (M.Sc. 6 LP, Phonetik 6 SP).
