Syllabus
for Spring
2016 Spring
2015
Eligibility:
Students who have successfully
completed one semester of an introductory phonetics course; others by permission
only. This course is highly recommended for anyone planning to do advanced
work in phonetics or linguistics. A serious but friendly course!
Textbooks:
Ladefoged, Peter & Keith Johnson. 2011. A Course in Phonetics. 6th edition. Boston: Wadsworth Cenage Learning. 322pp. Available at Crane's 文鶴.
Ladefoged, Peter & Sandra Ferrari Disner. 2012. Vowels and Consonants: An Introduction to the Sounds of Languages. 3rd edition. West Sussex: Wiley-Blackwell. 211pp + xvii. Paper. Companion website here. Buy at Crane's 文鶴. Make sure you get the 3rd edition!
Course description:
This course is a continuation of Karen
Chung's Introduction to Phonetics Course; though students who have
taken other phonetics courses are also welcome. The primary goal of the course
will be to finish Ladefoged's A Course in Phonetics, starting from
Chapter Six, "Airstream Mechanisms and Phonation Types" (figure
out the correct compound noun stress before reading this aloud!), and to go
through all of the material in Ladefoged/Disner's Vowels and Consonants.
Note that Chapter 11 of the Course will
not be covered in class, though material in it may appear
in the final exam, so you will need to read chapter 11 of
the Course yourself, independently. You are however
of course welcome to ask questions about it in class.
Students are expected to take careful class
notes, including on pronunciation corrections, and will be asked to submit
a paper summary of their notes in class every Monday, and to also upload your
notes and other written work to Google Drive. Make sure Ms. Chung has a gmail
address for you so you can be added to the Phonetics II S17 folder
on Google Drive.
There will be 31 class meetings this semester:
February 2017: 20, 22, 27 (Holiday; no class);
March: 1, 6, 8, 13, 15, 20, 22, 27, 29;
April: 3 (Holiday; no class), 5 (Holiday;
no class); 10, 12, 17, 19, 24, 26;
May: 1, 3, 8, 10, 15, 17, 22, 24, 29 (Holiday; no class);
31;
June: 5, 7. 12, 14.
Final exam: Wednesday, June 21, 2017 外教 203
Every Wednesday, you will read and submit a brief
summary of one chapter of Vowels and Consonants and write and submit
two questions on the chapter a week, in this sequence:
| February 22-March 1: Chapter 1 (Monday 2/29 is a holiday) March 1-8: Chapter 2 March 8-15: Chapter 3 March 15-22: Chapter 11 March 22-29: Chapter 12 March 29-April 5: Chapter 13 (Monday 4/4 is a holiday) April 5-April 12: Chapter 14 April 12-19: Chapter 4 |
April 19-26: Chapter 5 April 26-May 3: Chapter 6 May 3-10: Chapter 7 May 10-17: Chapter 8 May 17-24: Chapter 9 May 24-31: Chapter 10 May 31-June 7: Chapter 15 June 7-14: Chapter 16 |
There will be a number of class dictations,
and practical exercises in English pronunciation will be assigned, as time
permits, with emphasis on consolidating past progress and identifying and
fine-tuning areas left for improvement. Various Web assignments will be given,
and you will get more practice in using Praat
and other speech tools.
Make sure you join and check in often with NTU
Phonetics on Facebook, where we can continue and supplement class
discussions and ask and answer questions online.
All of the classes from Phonetics II, Spring
2013, are available online for reference. This semester will not be exactly
the same, but if you end up missing a class, or if you'd like to hear the
material again for review or to understand it better, you're encouraged to
watch the online lectures.
Final exam date: Wednesday, June
21, 2017 at 5:30-7:15pm in 外教 203.
Grade calculation:
Students will be graded on written work,
dictations (to a lesser extent), quizzes, chapter tests, and a final, as
well as attendance, class participation, attitude, and progress made.
Syllabus:
NOTE: This syllabus is basically a modified
copy of the Spring 2016 Phonetics II syllabus,
so it is for reference only. It
is certain to be changed a lot over the course of the semester.
It will be updated weekly, so in
general, it should be accurate up to and including the current week;
for any time after that, check back after it's
been updated for this semester.
PLEASE REPORT ANY ERRORS OR DEAD LINKS you find
to karchung@ntu.edu.tw!
Week
1: 2/20, 2/22
Monday 2/20:
(1) Enrollment
and other class business;
fill in your gmail and other required information:
You will receive an invitation to join the class
gmail folder
if you weren't in the class last semester.
Make sure you have a copy of the third edition
of
Vowels
and Consonants asap!
See reading schedule above; we will be reading the
chapters
in a different sequence from the one in the book.
Also note that there is a companion
website for the book.
Read
and summarize chapter 1 and write two questions on the
material in the chapter, to be submitted 3/1.
(2) Your final exam from
last semester will be returned
and we'll go over it in class. Correct it carefully
and hand it in on Wednesday
February 22.
(3) Just like last semester,
you will hand in the paper version
of your class notes every Monday, and you are
also to
upload them to Google
Drive before Monday of each week.
Make sure that you record all pronunciation
corrections, and
work actively on automating them and thus fixing
them permanently
so we won't have to keep repeating the same
corrections in class!
One of the biggest complaints in previous
classes is that we spent
too much class time correcting the same
mistakes over and over
again. This can be avoided if you practice
and come prepared.

teacher, homework assignments,
what was most and least useful, things that could be improved, and how
— everything about the class this semester.
Part 2: Evaluate yourself:
Attendance and punctuality, homework submission,
how prepared for class
you were, how much you learned from the class,
how much effort you put into this class.
Part 3: How do you plan to continue
improving your English and learning more about linguistics?
II. Organized summary
of your class notes:
Go through all your old notes, and organize
them into a summary of main points,
including notes on the CET articles and Vowels & Consonants.
You do not have to include every single detail
from your notes; try rather to combine notes that are about the same thing
and to generalize.
