    Overview

    Speaking turns ideas into sound. Examination of what sounds are in human language, how they pattern, and how to discover them. Covers both theory and experimental testing.

    If you listen to a language that you don't speak, all you hear is a wall of noise. But somehow speakers of the language turn that noise into clear sounds, words, and sentences that are so easy to understand that it can be a joy. How do we do this? The class combines psycholinguistic theory with practical work of acoustics and experimentation.
