The focus will be on phonetic and phonological variation and change and so it is assumed that students will be familiar with basic concepts in phonetics and phonology. Understanding patterns of spoken language variation requires a multidisciplinary approach, and so during the course students will be introduced to aspects of historical linguistics, language acquisition, speech perception and production. Teaching is in the form of lectures and lab sessions, including experimental work and discussion of journal articles
