グローバル教養科目（Phonetics: The sounds of languages across the world）
Phonetics: The sounds of languages across the world
How do our bodies produce speech sounds? How are the sounds of language represented in our minds? How can we visualize, analyze and quantify people's voices?
This course introduces basic concepts in phonetics, the scientific study of speech sounds. Phonetics is at the crossroads of linguistics, psychology and physics. Its content will be relevant to students specializing in many fields, from music to engineering. For this introductory course, no previous knowledge is required.
Learning phonetics can also promote the appreciation of the world's languages and of their diversity. This appreciation is a necessary step towards the protection the world's cultural heritage, the respect of linguistic rights and the social inclusion of linguistic minorities.

履修上の注意
If the number of students enrolling in this course exceeds the number determined by the instructor, there may be a selection process. Instructions for the selection process will be given in the first class, so if you are interested in taking this course, please be sure to attend the first class.
In preparation for each class, students are expected to read in advance a short chapter from the textbook. This is particularly helpful for students with low confidence in their English listening skills.
To help students become familiar with important concepts and with phonetic symbols, the course also includes materials and instructions for the use of free spaced repetition learning apps (e.g. Wordholic).
For hands-on sessions, students will download and use free speech analysis software (e.g. Praat). Some assignments will require recording and analyzing speech. Therefore, students are advised to bring their own laptop, microphone and headphones.
