- The course aims to provide students with an in-depth knowledge of the main aspects of French phonetics and phonology, with particular emphasis on the relationship between written and spoken language. Through the study of the connections between sounds and spelling, students will acquire the tools needed to understand the specific features of the French phonetic system and to develop accurate and informed pronunciation skills.
The course will examine characteristic features of the French language, such as silent letters, nasal vowels, and pronunciation variations associated with grammatical gender, with particular reference to differences between masculine and feminine forms. In addition, the course will explore the principal phonetic and prosodic mechanisms of contemporary French, fostering the improvement of listening, reading, and oral production skills.
