Introduction to Phonology
These are the lecture slides and handouts from the undergraduate Introduction to Phonetics & Phonology course I taught at USC in Spring 2022 (LING 301). I've taught similar classes more recently at UCLA, based on Kie Zuraw's "skills-based" model. Email me if you're interested in discussing those materials.
