| Course title: Phonetics and Phonology
Instructor: prof. dr. Višnja Josipović Smojver ECTS credits: 6Language: English Status: compulsorySemester: 6th (summer) Enrolment requirements: There are no special prerequisites for taking up this course, except that the student has to be regularly enrolled in the semester in which the course is taught. Course description:Students are taught the fundamental notions of contemporary phonetics and phonology. The course starts with a survey of the basic notions of articulatory phonetics, with special emphasis on the standard pronunciation varieties of British and American English (RP and GenAm respectively).This is followed by an oveview of suprasegmental phenomena in English. After this, the students are familiarized with the basic tenets of generative phonology, which are illustrated primarily with reference to English and Croatian examples. Students are taught to formulate the most important rules of lexical and post-lexical phonology of English. Objectives: Students should learn to approach English pronunciation descriptively, as opposed to the earlier prescriptive approach, which they were used to in the course of pre-university English learning. In order to develop this kind of approach, i.e., to learn how to describe English pronunciation phenomena in a scientific way, trough this course the student should develop the ability of selective listening and master the basic notions and terms of phonological and phonetic description.

The final grade will be based on 3 tests, as shown in the table:
Several optional assignments will be offered after the first two tests, on which students can score the maximum of 5 additional points (added to the points from the 3 tests). Obtaining the final grade: A maximum of 100 points (45+20+35) 92 -100 = 5 84 - 91 = 4 73 - 83 = 3 65 – 72 = 2 For the successful completion of the course students get 6 ECTS credits.
