Topics in Phonology: Phonetic Realization

More OCW like this | |
Published by: Massachusetts Institute of Technology | Language: English

Share in:

Many details of phonetic realization cannot be predicted from standard phonological representations on a language-independent basis, so phonetic realization must be specified in grammar. In this seminar we will investigate phonetic realization as a component of grammar. The basic questions that we will address are: What is the form of the
