SPN 3600 VOICES OF IDENTITY THROUGH SPANISH PHONETICS
This course is designed to give students an in-depth understanding of the sound system of Spanish in order to refine their pronunciation and explore the relationship between identity and accent. In addition to discussing the implications of foreign and dialectal accents for language learners, the course will develop students' ability to describe and analyze Spanish speech sounds using both phonetic transcription and speech analysis software. Special attention will be paid to the wide array of dialectal accents present in the Spanish-speaking world, especially those differences that students may encounter during travel or study abroad.
