Course content
Within the scope of the discipline "Applied phonetics" the basic provisions of applied phonetics and its conceptual apparatus are considered; modern technologies and methods of experimental phonetic research; acoustic-phonetic parameters of speech information and methods of extracting it from the speech stream are learned; methods and techniques of complex phonetic analysis of sound speech of various types are studied using modern computer tools.
The educational discipline is the basis for studying the following courses of applied linguistics on computer modeling of verbal communication, analysis and synthesis of oral speech, and examination of human oral speech.
