Linguistic phonetics

Linguistics/Phonetics is a new module that encompasses both linguistics and phonetics. Students of English have to deal with such a module in their first year since it is of paramount importance in their preliminary stages of learning a new language to deal with linguistics and phonetics.

They are two different but interrelated modules. However, the governmental educational policy decided to combine them into one module since they are interrelated. Through such a module, students learn the basic theoretical frameworks and become familiar with the various spheres of application of both fields. 

Students are taught different topics related to Linguistics, such as the functions of language, characteristics of human language, De Saussure’s dichotomies, etc., and they are also taught topics related to phonetics, such as vowels, consonants, diphthongs, triphthongs, etc.

Additionally, they will deal with activities in which they will test their understanding of the theoretical notions and check their pronunciation concerning the learned rules.
