Course objectives
The lesson aims to explain all phonetic (phonological) terms and phenomena that are important for understanding the German phonological system. Part of this basic course is an explanation of speech formation, the problem of German vocalism and consonantism, word and sentence stress, and intonation. Special attention is paid to assimilation phenomena, which often represent sources of pronunciation errors. The theoretical interpretation is also devoted to the issue of pronunciation errors.
