Running head: IMPLICIT TRAINING OF NONNATIVE SPEECH 1 Implicit Training of Nonnative Speech Stimuli
Learning nonnative speech contrasts in adulthood has proven difficult. Standard training methods have achieved moderate effects using explicit instructions and performance feedback. In this study, we question preexisting assumptions by demonstrating a superiority of implicit training procedures. We trained three groups of Greek adults on a difficult Hindi contrast (a) explicitly, with feedback ...
متن کاملPerceptual Dimensions of Nonnative Speech
Foreign-accented speech has most commonly been characterized across three related, but independent dimensions: intelligibility, comprehensibility, and accent [6]. The present study applied an auditory free classification task, which has been used to test listeners’ perceptual representations of regional dialects [5] and different languages [3], to further investigate the salient perceptual dime...

متن کاملA Pragmatic Study of Speech Acts by Iranian and Spanish Nonnative English Learners
This study was an attempt to investigate Iranian and Spanish intermediate nonnative English learners’ request strategies to their faculty. To this aim, 74 (50 Iranian and 24 Spanish) nonnative English intermediate learners participated in this study. A discourse completion test (DCT) was used to elicit the request strategies used by the participants. The findings suggested the participants empl...
متن کاملSpeech Modulation Features for Robust Nonnative Speech Accent Detection
In this paper, we propose to use speech modulation features for robust nonnative accent detection. Modulation spectrum carries long term temporal information of speech and may discriminate accents of native and nonnative speakers. For each speech segment to be tested, we extract a 10 dimension feature vector from modulation spectrum and use it for model training and testing. The proposed modula...
