Linguistic Field(s): Phonology
Meeting Description:
This course will be an introduction to the main ideas of Natural Phonology, a
theory first proposed by David Stampe (1969, 1979), and later developed by
Stampe and Donegan (1978, 1979, 1983, 2004) and Donegan (1993, 1995, 1996,
etc.). Reference will be made, whenever appropriate, to other followers
of the theory, like Churma, Dressler, Dziubalska, Hurch, Nathan, Rhodes, and Wojcik.
Each day will consist of a theoretical presentation, followed by practical
exercises of phonological analysis. Basque will be the first source of
empirical data, but English, French and Spanish will also be considered (apart
from occasional examples from other languages). Such analysis will then be
applied to topics of Portuguese phonology selected by students and studied in
class together with the instructor of the course.
Instructor: Prof. Miren Lourdes Onederra (University of the Basque Country, Spain)
Reading material and texts for discussion will be provided whenever necessary.
Price and application. Students: 30 euros; Others: 60 euros
