PhD Phonetics and Phonology Integrated
The Phonetics and Phonology IPhD is designed for students who wish to develop an advanced theoretical and analytical grounding in Phonetics and Phonology. The focus is on its application in first and second language acquisition, sociolinguistics, speech science, and language patterning.
The Integrated PhD has a substantial taught and assessed component, as well as a supervised research element. The foundation is a common core of modules dealing with essential theoretical issues and research methods. You are also offered specialised modules which act as the basis for your thesis.
You will have an individual course of study based on your needs and sponsor's requirements.
One of the strengths of the course is that it brings together the teaching and research expertise of staff belonging to the Phonetics and Phonology Research Group, which is composed of students and staff working in phonetics and phonology across three of our academic schools:
School of Education, Communication, and Language Sciences (ECLS)
School of English Literature, Language and Linguistics (SELLL)
School of Modern Languages (SML)
This widens the pool of modules that are available and enables you to interact with staff and students from a wide variety of backgrounds and expertise. Our particular areas of strength are in:
phonetics and phonology in first/second language acquisition and bilingualism
sociophonetic perspectives on speech perception and production
role of voice quality in speech processing
laboratory phonology and links between phonetics and phonology
phonetic and phonological characteristics of languages and language description in segmental and suprasegmental aspects
prosody and timing in the worlds languages
neurocognition of speech and language processing with focus on phonetics, phonology, and prosody
The cross-cutting theme within these areas that we are all interested in is the link between perception, production and learning.
