L542: Phonological Analysis (3 cr)
Instructor: Dr. Stuart Davis
Section: 3105

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.
