The aim of this module is to provide an opportunity to consolidate your skills in phonological analysis by applying them to real world data, in the form of clinical data from children and/or adults who have communication disorders.
You will then go on to learn the principles of a number of different phonological theories, and how to use them to analyse clinical data, in order to compare and evaluate the competing theories. Most data analysed will be in English, from published and unpublished clinical case studies.
This is not a course in clinical phonology, but you will get a taste of the kind of data that clinical phonology deals with, whilst enhancing your skills in phonological analysis and broadening your knowledge of the range of current competing theories in phonology.
