Description:

This course is the natural extension of the Sounds of Language course, as well as the prerequisite to the capstone course in the cognitive track.

By the end of the semester, students should be familiar with all the equipment in the linguistics laboratory and what kinds of questions each is designed to explore, and to be able to conduct their own independent research. Prerequisite: Linguistics 104, Sounds of Language. Alternate years. Next offered Spring 2010. (4 credits)
