The aim of this course is to introduce fundamental acoustic and articulatory phonetics at the introductory level. Along with acoustic phonetics, this course focuses particularly on physiological mechanism in our articulatory system and correspondent functions in speech production. Throughout the course, various experimental devices and equipment will be introduced and students will be provided with a number of hands-on practices and exercises. Background in linguistics is preferred, but not required. Students with physiology, medical, health sciences, dental background are particularly welcome.

This course is designed as a graduate level course. Interested students (both enrolling and auditing) *should* attend the first lecture on 9/11.
