Articulatory and Corrective Phonetics (ACP) is an introductory course to the study of the sound system of English. With a focus on the segmental level of speech, the course introduces the basic concepts related to the study and description of speech sounds. It presents definitions of key concepts such as phonetics, with its main branches (articulatory, auditory and acoustic phonetics), and phonology. Through a careful study of speech organs and articulators, the students will learn about the main processes in the production of speech sounds (vowels and consonants), in addition to their classification and description from an articulatory perspective.
