CMSD 210 - PHONETICS

Phonetics is the study of speech sounds which make up language, including how speech sounds are produced and transcribed using the International Phonetic Alphabet. Emphasis is placed on American English, including regional and social dialects. Students will gain experience in transcription of connected speech, and will be introduced to clinical methods used in detecting articulation and phonological disorders. For students choosing to pursue the Spanish option, independent practice and projects for this course may include additional components to address Spanish language phonetics in addition to American English phonetics.
