Navigating These Pages
To return to the main Linguistics Department web site click on "LINGUISTICS HOME" in the menu bar just above each page's main content. There are several links in that menu bar that will take you to various pages relating to this unit. The "RESOURCE INDEX" link takes you to a page that provides links to a large number of on-line materials relating to Phonetics and Phonology and Speech Science (and to a much lesser extent, some aspects of hearing). The "HELP PAGES" link takes you to help pages that tell you how to install appropriate phonetic fonts (if required), installing a browser that properly supports phonetic fonts, as well as software for playing sound and video files.
