Ling 600.01 Phonetic Theory
We will do this lab in the second class meeting of Week 4. So prepare the first part of your report for that day. The final report on this lab should be submitted as an appendix to the field project report on your language consultant's vowel space.
You should be eliciting wordforms at this point that will make it possible for you to do report 3 on "The Vowel Space". Organize the forms that you have elicited so for into the beginnings of the table that you need to provide for Part 1a of this report. Organize your questions about the transcriptions of the vowels into a list with the most pressing ones at the top. Bring to class a brief write-up of the two or three questions at the top your list, along with recordings of wordforms that you think might help you answer these questions. Try to formulate specific questions about how looking at the formant patterns together in class might bear on these questions.
