The aim of this course is to introduce the terminology and basics of British Received Pronunciation
(segmental inventory, processes, letter-to-sound regularities), to provide practice in analysing data and in
reading and doing phonemic transcription using the Gimsonian IPA.
Requirements: Students attending this course are going to write two achievement tests based on the material
that is covered in the seminars. They are expected to fully participate in the in-class discussions and do their
homework regularly. All students attending this course must understand that they can miss only 3x90
minutes without any further consequences. The two achievement tests can not be missed, retake tests are
allowed exceptionally. Students will be given a final grade based on their contribution to course work, their
test results, and the completion of their home assignments.
If remote education is necessary: real-time, live online seminars will be provided. Topics to be covered will
not change.
