Linguistic Field(s): Phonology 

Meeting Description: 

This course will be an introduction to the main ideas of Natural Phonology, a 
theory first proposed by David Stampe (1969, 1979), and later developed by  
Stampe and Donegan (1978, 1979, 1983, 2004) and Donegan (1993, 1995, 1996,
etc.). Reference will be made, whenever appropriate, to other followers  
of the theory, like Churma, Dressler, Dziubalska, Hurch, Nathan, Rhodes, and Wojcik.

Each day will consist of a theoretical presentation, followed by practical 
exercises of phonological analysis. Basque will be the first source of 
empirical data, but English, French and Spanish will also be considered (apart 
from occasional examples from other languages). Such analysis will then be 
applied to topics of Portuguese phonology selected by students and studied in 
class together with the instructor of the course.

Reading material and texts for discussion will be provided whenever necessary.

Price and application. Students: 30 euros; Others: 60 euros
