Course content
The course provides further insight into phonological problems and modern methods of analysis. A principal issue is the relationship between the different forces that are active in phonological processes, and the presumed universal motivations for these, as they are analyzed within Optimality Theory.
Learning outcome
The content and focus can vary somewhat according to the composition of the class.
After having taken this topic, the students should be able to
- Realte to the theoretical differences between classical derivational phonology and Optimality Theory
- Perform practical analyses using relevant theories, especially Optimality Theory
- Discuss phonological problems in the light of theories of current interest
- Integrate current theories with each other when this is relevant
Learning methods and activities
Lectures and group instructions.
More on assessment: Obligatory exercises must be approved before students are allowed to take the take-home exam. The size of the exercises must be between 4-6 typed A4-pages each (line spacing 1.5).
Take-home exam: The size of the take-home exam depends partly on the subject, but is usually between 8-15 typed A4-pages (line spacing 1.5).
Oral examination: 20 minutes. The oral examination adjusts the grade given for the term paper. Both parts of the exam are graded together. Failing one part of the exam entails failing the whole course. Students who fail must resit both parts of the exam.
Compulsory assignments
- 2 approved exercises.
Recommended previous knowledge
LING1112 or similar is recommended. This implies that the students should already know the basics of generative phonology, in particular Autosegmental Phonology. Do not hesitate to contact the Department of Language and Communication Studies if you do not have an exam in LING1112 and need advice on relevant literature.
