General Information

Overview

This unit will focus on phonetics and phonetic transcription of speech. You will apply this theoretical knowledge to practice across culturally and linguistically diverse settings. You will form an understanding of the relationship between the vocal tract and speech sounds produced, as well as the interface between phonetics, phonology and suprasegmentals. You will be required to listen to and transcribe speech samples using the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) and Australian-English vowel symbols. This unit will provide you with a fundamental skill required in speech pathology.
