1 About the course

\[ \text{Final Grade} = 0.6 \times \text{HW} + 0.4 \times \text{Exam} \]

• I expect some theoretical knowledge
  • read 2. chapter from (Gussenhoven and Jacobs 2017)
  • see the presentation on Phon research from 13.09.2021
  • be able to use IPA symbols
• I expect some basic R skills:
  • import .csv files to R
  • dplyr, ggplot2

1.1 Recording in case you missed the class

• on acoustics
• on Praat and Biocoustics
• on Vowels and duration extraction
• on sonorants

1.2 Homeworks

1.2.1 HW 1 (due to 12.12.2022, 23:59):

• Create an annotation for those sound file containing words mza ‘lamp’, mzə ‘moon’, mtsa ‘fire’, mtsə ‘lie’. Here is an example:

knitr::include_graphics("hw/hw1/hw1_1.png")

• Send the result .TextGrid file to the course assistant Kirill Chuprinko with the topic Instrumental Phonetics: HW 1.
