Bilingual Sound Change Glossary

Sometime about half-way into the course I came to the conclusion (which should have been obvious) that many students in the class have not studied phonetics or phonology in English before. To help with associating English terminology with French terminology you may already know, I have prepared a small bilingual glossary of common sound changes we have covered in the course and some related words as well.

This will be useful for you to relate the new things you have learned with those you already know, as well as helping you in reading or writing about these topics in French now or in the future. You do not have to learn any French terminology for this course. This document is made available merely for your information. If you find any typing mistakes or other errors, let me know.
