FREN 39901 - Research in French Phonology

Course Credit: 1
FREN 399: Research in French Phonology In this course, students will conduct original and empirical research in the areas of phonology and sociolinguistics in French. This hands-on course will enable students to work both individually and collaboratively in their study of two main phonological phenomena in French (schwa and liaison), across two different styles (conversation and reading), and with members of different social groups (differences in age, gender and country of origin). Although this course does not require students to have prior knowledge of linguistics, a background in linguistics and/or phonology will be useful. Prerequisite: FREN 22000 or FREN 22400, or equivalent, or permission of the professor. Prerequisite(s): FREN-22000 or FREN-224xx [AH]
