Here is the study list for the final that I handed out on Tuesday. Expect the final to be like the homework and the two tests. It may take the full time, but you shouldn't have to race to finish. The best way to study is to review the homework and test problems and go over the problems in the reader (we covered almost all of them). Don't forget to review distinctive features!
You will most definitely want to use IPA fonts for your paper. It's really simple. Most symbols can be created by with the shift-key or through the menu Insert->Symbol. For those who were having trouble navigating the website, I've place the fonts on this website. Click here to download the fonts. If you click "open" on the menu that pops up it will take you through the steps to install the fonts on your computer.
The final paper is due Friday 12/12. Put it in my box in the Linguistics Department by 5pm (when the office closes).
