SPAN 312 - Fonética

Unit(s): 4

The fundamental principles of phonetic analysis will be introduced in order to show how Spanish sounds are produced, how they fall into patterns and how they change in different environments. Students will learn concepts related to articulatory phonetics as applied to Spanish and to improve personal Spanish pronunciation via corrective exercises and introductory training in phonetic transcription. In addition to more practical aspects, students will have the opportunity to learn about other related issues involving the differences between Spanish-speaking dialects, sociolinguistics, and first and second language acquisition.
