Perceptual Phonetics
About
About the course
Course content
This course presents theories and empirical results of speech perception research. Students will read both literature and conduct shorter listening tests to examine hypotheses pertaining to various aspects of speech perception. The results are presented in short reports that will form the basis for the take-home exam.
Learning outcome
The goal of the course is that students get acquainted with various speech perception theories by reading relevant literature and doing experimental work.
Learning methods and activities
Lectures, group instructions and laboratory exercises with supervision. The course may be taught in English or Norwegian, depending on who is teaching it.
More on assessment: Mandatory laboratory exercises must be approved before the student may take the take-home exam and the oral exam. The size of the take-home exam depends partly on the subject, but is usually between 10-20 typed A4-pages (line spacing 1.5). The two parts of the exam are weighted 50-50 in the final grade. If the course is not passed, the student must retake the part(s) which he/she failed.
