Dutch listeners have native language experience with the use of...

متن کاملA Corpus Study of Native and Non-native Vowel Quality
This paper investigates foreign accent by comparing vowel production of native speakers, heritage and non-native learners with data from a large corpus of spontaneous Chinese learner speech.

The rating result showed a high correlation between accent and pronunciation...
