First day of class done, so now we’re really going to get into it! Tomorrow we start discussing phonology in depth, so there’s some prep work I’d like you to do for that. In addition, there are a couple of bits of background/course function things I’d like you to do—among them familiarize yourself with the course blog, which you’re currently doing. To that end, each day after class a new blog post will go up. It will have materials for you to download that I gave out during class, and will have assignments for next class. Here’s what that looks like:
