At the end of this course students should have a solid linguistic knowledge of Japanese phonetics and phonology through practical exercises which focus on the prception, production and acoustics of segmental and suprasegmental aspects of Japanese sounds. In addition, students will be able to analyse some phonetic and phonological phenomena of Japanese. Some theoretical aspects of Japanese phontics and phonology will be discussed in this course while students acquire some skills as to how to process Japanese speech signals through practical laboratory exercises.
