Some background in phonetics is expected.
This course, consisting of a lecture and an exercise session, 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; the source-filter model of speech production and the acoustic properties of speech sounds; the ear and hearing physiology; theories of speech perception.
Completion of exercises; written exam at end of term (6 CP).
