The course is based on HIF-3022 Phonology II and deals with the relationship between phonology and other cognitive domains. More specifically, the following issues will be addressed:
- The relationship between phonology and morphology/syntax
- The relationship between phonology and first language acquisition
- The relationship between phonology and phonetics
- The relationship between phonology and lexicon
A central issue will be whether the phonological patterns visible across languages are caused by the interaction between universal grammar and other cognitive areas.
The course requires a bachelor´s degree in language and literature, or equivalent. | Recommended previous qualifications

The candidate must select three of his/her best homework assignments to be included in the portfolio. These must be handed in as ONE DOCUMENT. Among the objectives of the evaluation of such a portfolio is to examine the candidate´s knowledge of the curriculum and contents of the course. The homework assignments chosen by the candidate must therefore include one assignment from the beginning of the course, one midways through the course, and one at the end of the course.
