Introduction to English Phonetics and Phonology
Dr. Löw-Wiebach Montag 11:15 – 12:45 Neue Aula 2st.
In its first part, the lecture will provide you with the basics of phonetics and phonology in general.
As a second step, we will then consider the sound system of the English language in particular. We
will first have a closer look at the English consonants and vowels (monophthongs and diphthongs)
before we move on to the supra-segmental features (intonation, stress, etc.). The final chapter will
be dedicated to accents of English worldwide.
The reference accents in the lecture will be Received Pronunciation (RP) for British English and
General American (GA) for American English.
There will also be a practical component concerned with the phonemic transcription of English
texts.
In addition to the lecture, students need to take a Begleitkurs Phonetik (AE or BE) in the language
lab (Zentrales Sprachlabor), preferably in the same semester.
Registration: You do not need to register for the lecture, but sign up online for the Begleitkurs.
