Goals

The goals of the course include providing introductions to basic aspects of topics such as the following:

Representations:

What are the most appropriate data structures for phonemes, strings of phonemes, syllable structures, feature matrices, autosegmental lattices?

Procedures:

What procedures are required for mapping one phonological representation to another and implementing phonological rules?

Implementations:

How does one set about designing and making an implementation?

Applications:

What are typical applications of computational phonology?
