This study tested the predictions of the Speech Learning Model (SLM, Flege, 1988) on the case of native Japanese (NJ) speakers' perception and production of English /ɹ / and /l/. NJ speakers' degree of foreign accent, intelligibility of /...
Exploring the role of exposure frequency in recognizing pronunciation variants [0.03%]
探究暴露频率在识别发音变体中的作用

Words can be pronounced in multiple ways in casual speech. Corpus analyses of the frequency with which these pronunciation variants occur (e.g., Patterson & Connine, 2001) show that typically, one pronunciation variant tends to predominate;...
Effects of the distribution of acoustic cues on infants' perception of sibilants [0.03%]
听觉线索在婴儿塞音知觉中的作用研究
Alejandrina Cristià,Grant L McGuire,Amanda Seidl et al.
Alejandrina Cristià et al.
A current theoretical view proposes that infants converge on the speech categories of their native language by attending to frequency distributions that occur in the acoustic input. To date, the only empirical support for this statistical l...
Language context elicits native-like stop voicing in early bilinguals' productions in both L1 and L2 [0.03%]
语言环境能激发早期双语者的L1和L2发音中母语般的浊音爆破现象

Mark Antoniou et al.
The way that bilinguals produce phones in each of their languages provides a window into the nature of the bilingual phonological space. For stop consonants, if early sequential bilinguals, whose languages differ in voice onset time (VOT) d...

While cross-dialect prosodic variation has been well established for many languages, most variationist research on regional dialects of American English has focused on the vowel system. The current study was designed to explore prosodic var...
Why are Korean tense stops acquired so early: The role of acoustic properties [0.03%]
韩语时态塞音为何能如此早习得：声学属性的作用
Eun Jong Kong,Mary E Beckman,Jan Edwards
Eun Jong Kong
Transcription-based studies have shown that tense stops appear before aspirated or lax stops in most Korean-acquiring children's speech. This order of mastery is predicted by the short lag Voice Onset Time (VOT) values of Korean tense stops...
A one-year longitudinal study of English and Japanese vowel production by Japanese adults and children in an English-speaking setting [0.03%]
日本成人和儿童在美国环境中一年的英语和日语元音发音纵向研究

Grace E Oh et al.
The effect of age of acquisition on first- and second-language vowel production was investigated. Eight English vowels were produced by Native Japanese (NJ) adults and children as well as by age-matched Native English (NE) adults and childr...

Rachel E Baker et al.
In this study, we compare the effects of English lexical features on word duration for native and non-native English speakers and for non-native speakers with different L1s and a range of L2 experience. We also examine whether non-native wo...
The role of selective attention in the acquisition of English tense and lax vowels by native Spanish listeners: comparison of three training methods [0.03%]
选择性注意在英语元音习得中的作用：以西班牙语母语者为研究对象的三种训练方法的比较研究

Maria V Kondaurova
This study investigates the role of two processes, cue enhancement (learning to attend to acoustic cues which characterize a speech contrast for native listeners) and cue inhibition (learning to ignore cues that do not), in the acquisition ...
Some acoustic cues for the perceptual categorization of American English regional dialects [0.03%]
美国英语地方方言知觉范畴化的若干音位线索
Cynthia G Clopper,David B Pisoni
Cynthia G Clopper
The perception of phonological differences between regional dialects of American English by naïve listeners has received little attention in the speech perception literature and is still a poorly understood problem. Two experiments were ca...
