Course objectives
Selected chapters from general phonetics and phonology; speech production; classification of speech sounds, combinations of speech sounds, attention is paid to the systemic understanding of different phenomena and to the parallels with other European languages. At the end of the course, the student should have the required level of knowledge in the discipline and they should be able not only to put it into practice while speaking Italian, but also make full use of it in the subsequent theoretical linguistic disciplines (normative grammar, historical development of the language etc.).
Syllabus
  • At the beginning of the course, students will get acquainted with the history of research in phonetics and with various aspects of speech production as well as with the key concepts of the discipline (phonetics and phonology, vocalic triangle, assimilation etc.). Parallels with other Romance languages and with Czech, English or German are often used in classifying and describing Italian sounds. The course ends with a brief survey of the main Italian Dialects from the phonetic point of view.
