230441 Phonological Variation in North America (S) (SoSe 2020)

Contents, comment

The focus of this class lies on the phonetics and phonology of US-American Englishes and English spoken in Canada and the Caribbean. Not only will we look at the phonotactics of GenAm but also at regional differences and changes, such as Southern American English, the Northern Cities Shift, the English spoken in Philadelphia and New York.

Due to the special circumstances this semester poses, this course will (mostly) be an asynchronous online course starting on April 22nd!
