Consonant Durations in a Cluster Environment

Sources of illusion in consonant cluster perception

Previous studies have shown that listeners have difficulty discriminating between non-native CC sequences and licit alternatives (e.g. Japanese [ebzo]-[ebuzo], English [bnif]-[b=nif]) (Berent et al., 2007; Dupoux et al., 1999). Some have argued that the difficulty in distinguishing these illicit–licit pairs is due to a ‘‘perceptual illusion’’ caused by the phonological system, which prevents li...

Acoustics characteristics of open transition in nonnative consonant cluster production

In cross-language speech production, nonnative consonant clusters are often modified by epenthetic or transitional vocoids. Focusing on English speakers’ productions of nonnative stop-initial clusters (e.g., /bn/, /bd/), the present study identified several acoustic characteristics that distinguish cases of epenthesis from accurate cluster realizations. Both modified and accurate productions co...

Word-final Consonant and Cluster Acquisition in Indian English(es)

In the acquisition of a second language, numerous factors interact simultaneously, including the patterns of the first language (L1), the patterns of the target language (L2), universals of language acquisition, and the amount and type of exposure to the L2. English is learned as a second language in India, where the first languages of the English learners differ widely in the phonotactics of c...
