The goal of the course is to introduce students to the basic questions which must be
answered in order to conduct experimental investigations of phonological structure.
This course will introduce students to a range of theoretical issues and phonetic
techniques cogent to asking quantitative questions about phonology.  In the first part of
the course we will read and discuss a number of landmark papers, and in the second
part of the course we will step through the process of formulating hypotheses
concerning phonological specification and designing and piloting an experiment to test
these hypotheses.  The course should be useful to those interested in phonetics,
phonology, the nature of linguistic representations, language acquisition, or speech
perception and recognition.
