Topics in Phonological Theories

This course is a graduate seminar which covers specific topics on phonological representations from the point of view of formal theoretical models, and of experimental approaches in laboratory phonology. Whenever possible, some of the course readings will be coordinated with Ling Lunch talks. Students will thus have the opportunity to read papers and attend talks by their authors.

On successful completion of this course, students should be able to:             

• Learning about different theoretical models in phonological theory
• Improving students’ knowledge of formal data analysis
• Improving students’ understanding of the laboratory phonology approach
• Determining what types of phonological questions can be addressed through experimentation
