授業の概要 Course Overview
Misson Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement
This phonology course is dedicated to exploring the intricate structures and patterns that underlie the sounds of human language. With a focus on theory, analysis, and application, our mission is to equip students with the tools and knowledge necessary to unravel the complexities of phonological systems. Through engaging instruction and hands-on exploration, we aim to cultivate a deep understanding of phonological processes, from the smallest units of sound to the larger structures of syllables and words. Our goal is to foster critical thinking, analytical skills, and an appreciation for the diversity of linguistic phenomena. By the end of the course, students will be empowered to apply their phonological expertise to analyze and understand the phonological systems of various languages, and to contribute meaningfully to the field of linguistics.
授業の目的（意義） / Importance of this course
A phonology course is crucial for understanding how sounds are organized and patterned within languages. It enhances communication skills, aids in linguistic analysis, informs language teaching methods, and contributes to literacy development. Phonology also plays a key role in diagnosing and treating speech disorders, and has cross-disciplinary applications in fields such as psychology, computer science, and forensic linguistics.

担当教員のプロフィール About the Instructor
Alexander Kilpatrick is an assistant professor at the Nagoya University of Business and Commerce. He holds a Ph.D. from the University of Melbourne. Alexander's main area of research involves examining the influence of transitional probability on non-native speech perception. More specifically, it focuses on the chance of sounds co-occurring in a language and makes predictions as to how listeners will misperceive non-native speech based on that chance.
He is available to meet with students on Wednesdays 11:20 - 12:50 in room 6306.
His areas of interest include Speech perception, Iconicity, Psycholinguistics, Neurolinguistics, Transitional Probability, Phonetics, and Phonology.
