Grado en Estudios Ingleses
La asignatura Fonética y Fonología Inglesas supone una introducción bastante exhaustiva a la naturaleza física, articulatoria y perceptual del fenómeno lingüístico en inglés (en su vertiente fonética) y a la organización sistemática en forma de contrastes fonológicos y organización del componente fónico del lenguaje (en su vertiente fonológica), tanto a nivel segmental como suprasegmental. La asignatura basa su descripción en el acento británico RP (Received Pronunciation), aunque lo contrasta de manera sistemática con el estándar de facto en Estados Unidos, el General American (GA) y con el español como sistema fonético-fonológico de partida de la mayoría de estudiantes.
