音韻學專題

Overview: In this course, we will focus on mechanisms of second language acquisition. We will read a wide range of scientific research articles on the topics of how learners discover the regularities and variability in the sound system of their second languages. We will also discuss specific methodologies commonly implemented in the field to test hypotheses of patterns in the second language speech. While familiarizing students with the current theories and experimental methodology that can be used to effectively address phonological questions, the seminar ultimately aims to help students develop their own research questions and determine viable methodologies to test their hypotheses. The final paper is therefore expected to be a whole research paper that includes explicit hypotheses and predictions and specific plans about data collection and analysis. Ideally, the final paper is expected to be a relatively short but good research proposal that include some results of a pilot study.
