This course is an introduction to articulatory phonetics and its description of

consonants, besides a limited number of fundamental phonological phenomena. In the first part of the

course, an inventory of consonants and vowels is introduced. The course also gives a basic grounding

in phonetic transcription using symbols from IPA. It also helps the students to be familiar with the way

function and main words are pronounced in sentences. The second part of the course will focus on the

fundamentals of phonology. Students will be exposed to the concepts of syllable, stress, assimilation,

intonation and rhythm.
