授業の概要 Course Overview
Mission Statementとの関係性 / Connection to our Mission Statement
The mission of this course is to facilitate an understanding of key facets of Linguistics and foster the development of leaders who posess a "Frontier Spirit".
授業の目的（意義） / Importance of this course
With this course, students will gain an understanding of Phonetics, Phonology, and Morphology.
到達目標 / Achievement Goal
By studying this course, students will understand how speech sounds are produced, how those sounds are stored as concepts, and how those concepts create meaning.

受講後得られる具体的スキルや知識 Learning Outcomes
In line with the "frontier spririt" values of the Nagoya University of Commerce and Business, this class will give students an entry into the fields of phonetics, phonology and morphology.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
*Identify the parts of the body that humans use to produce speech sounds,
*Classify speech sounds according to their articulatory and acoustic properties,
*Use the symbols of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to represent speech sounds,
*Analyze language data to determine if segments contrast phonemically,
*Identify the phonetic environments that lead to allophonic variation in a language,
*Group speech sounds into natural classes according to the properties they have in common,
*Identify whether a word is monomorphemic or polymorphemic,
*Identify the morphemes that make up a polymorphemic word,
*Distinguish between inflectional morphemes and derivational morphemes.

事前学修と事後学修の内容、レポート、課題に対するフィードバック方法 Pre- and Post-Course Learning, Report, Feedback methods
The course will follow the materials from the free online book "Essentials of Linguistics". More specifically, it will follow the chapters 2, 4, and 6.
Students will be required to complete required readings prior to class.
Each class will commence with a lecture. Then there will be a general discussion of the lecture materials and the required reading. This will be followed by tasks designed to reinforce learning. Direct and indirect feedback will be delivered during these tasks.
In weeks 2, 4, 6, & 7, there will be tests which will contribute to the final grade. After each test, students will be given direct feedback.

評価の留意事項 Notes on Evaluation Criteria
There are 3 short tests in weeks 2, 4, and 6. If a student completes all 3 tests, the average will be applied to their final grade. If they miss a test, then the remaining tests will be averaged and a 5% penalty will be applied.Class contribution grades are allocated based on attendance and contribution. Failure to attend a class will result in a 2% deduction. Penalties will also be applied to sleeping in class, lateness, and a lack of contribution.
The final test is worth 30% and will consist of all materials learned over the term.

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.
