L542: Phonological Analysis (3 cr)
Instructor: Dr. Stuart Davis
Section: 3083
TR 4:00-5:15P -- BH 142

This course introduces the data, theory, techniques of analysis, and methods of
argumentation underlying generative phonological theory.  The first part of the course
treats these elements from the traditional viewpoint of segmental (or linear)
phonology.  The latter part of the course overviews the recent change of direction
towards more articulated phonological structures, as represented by autosegmental
phonology, metrical phonology, feature geometry and underspecification theory.
Apart from the readings, the majority of work for the course will involve phonological
problem solving and argumentation.
