      Contrastive Phonology Syllabus 2023-2024 File

      Contrastive Phonology focuses on a phonetic contrastive that studies, describes, analyzes, and compares the sound systems of Spanish and English languages in order to establish similarities and differences between their phonemes and consonant and vowel allophones,  determines their level of phonological distribution, as well as identifies the speech processes of both languages. The importance of this subject deals with the ability development to discern the sounds of the native language with the target language to avoid phonetic transfer processes. This course goes along with Spanish  Linguistics I, which analyzes the phonological system of Spanish, and  English III which pragmatizes the language application.
