Optimality Theoretic Account of Acquisition of Consonant Clusters of English Syllables by Persian EFL Learners*
This study accounts for the acquisition of the consonant clusters of English syllable structures both in onset and coda positions by Persian EFL learners. Persian syllable structure is "CV(CC)", composed of one consonant at the initial position and two optional consonants at the final position; whereas English syllable structure is "(CCC)V(CCCC)". Therefore, Persian EFL learners need to resolve...
متن کاملThe Effect of Consonant Clusters on Vowel Duration in English
This study examines the effect of word-final consonant clusters on vowel duration in English. The duration of the high front lax vowel [,] was measured with respect to 64 different word-final consonant sequences of one, two, and three segments in length. A set of 960 [t,C(C)(C)] words were produced by three speakers and analysed. In accordance with previous studies, it was found that both voici...
متن کاملPerceiving through the Lens of Native Phonetics: Italian and Danish Listeners' Perception of English Consonant Contrasts
This study examined how the phonetic details of the phonological systems for two different nativelanguage listener groups interact with their perception of the phonetic details of three nonnative consonant contrasts. Current theoretical models of cross-language and second language speech perception are evaluated by relating native Italian and native Danish listeners’ perceptual assimilation of ...
متن کاملChinese-Speaking EFL Learners’ Performances of Processing English Consonant Clusters
Locke (1983), studying world languages, found that some have word-initial clusters, some word-final clusters, and others consonant clusters in both word-initial and wordfinal positions. Considering negative transfer, linguists would claim native speakers of tongues without consonant clusters can have difficulty in phonologically manipulating target items with consonant clusters. Chinese differs...
متن کاملPerception and production of consonant clusters in Japanese-English bilingual and Japanese monolingual speakers
Previous research has revealed that Japanese native speakers are more likely to perceive an ‘illusory vowel’ within consonant clusters compared to French native speakers (Dupoux et al. 1998). The aim of this research is to investigate the differences of perception and production of consonant clusters in Japanese-English bilinguals and Japanese monolinguals. The stimuli of the two experiments co...
