The student will get familiarized with a wide range of concepts linked to speech perception and production.
The student will get familiarized with acoustic parameters and characteristics of sound waves, spectrographic analysis of speech and the way they are linked to articulatory movements.
The student will get familiarized with recent theoretical models of speech perception.
The student will get familiarized with the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).
The student will get familiarized with cognitive and functional mechanisms involved in speech production, including anatomo-physiological and neurological components
The student will get familiarized with the factors that underlie the development of speech perception and production.
Finally, the student will be trained in the use of psycholinguistic databases.

The final grade represents the average of the two parts of the course (perception, production). Caution: the grade needs to reach 10/20 or more for both parts of the course for the course to be passed. In case the student passes only one of the two parts, the lowest grade will be retained for the final note. In that case, only the part that was graded lower than 10/20 needs to be represented.
