Regional Studies II (Group A): British Popular Music Culture from the 1950s to the Present

Course content

We will revisit the concepts of phonetics and phonology that were introduced in the B2 module but focus on rules and theoretical models that go beyond the descriptions of surface phenomena. Topics include acoustic, articulatory, and perceptual phonetics, distinctive feature theory, tones, suprasegmental phenomena, word stress, phonology above the word, as well as different theoretical approaches to explaining and predicting underlying structures.
