This course offers a general picture of managing speech corpora and of methods that are available for the acoustic-phonetic study of speech. The course consists of six lectures during which you will use a speech analysis program called Praat and learn to apply the main features of the program to your own work with speech recordings. In addition, you will learn the basics of another program called ELAN that can be used for transcribing and annotating audio as well as video material.
