Perception of Arabic liquids by Japanese listeners
The present research aims to identify Japanese listeners’ perception patterns of non-native liquid contrasts. The study examines Japanese listeners’ perception of Arabic liquids (/l/, /r/, /ll/ and /rr/). Japanese listeners showed poor performance on the Arabic /l/-/r/ discrimination and very good performance on the discrimination of the other liquid contrasts (/l/-ll/, /ll/-/rr/, /l/-/rr/, /r/...
متن کاملPerception of English minimal pairs in noise by Japanese listeners: does clear speech for L2 listeners help?
This study investigates the effect of different types of clear speech on cross-linguistic perception. In particular, it examines whether the words produced to help L2 interlocutors are perceived more easily by them than the words produced for L1 interlocutors to counteract speech babble noise. English keywords in these conditions are extracted from the LUCID corpus, and they are presented to Ja...
متن کاملCross-language speech perception of final stops by Australian- English, Japanese and Thai listeners

Thai final stops are invariably unreleased whereas English final stops are variably released. Although Japanese listeners had no experience with word-final st...
متن کاملPerception of Non-Contrastive Variations in American English by Japanese Learners: Flaps are Less Favored Than Stops
Alveolar flaps are non-contrastive allophonic variants of alveolar stops in American English. A lexical decision experiment was conducted with Japanese learners of English (JE) to investigate whether second-language (L2) learners are sensitive to such allophonic variations when recognizing words in L2. The stimuli consisted of 36 isolated bisyllabic English words containing word-medial /t/, hal...
متن کاملSpeech perception in noise by monolingual, bilingual and trilingual listeners.
BACKGROUND There is strong evidence that bilinguals have a deficit in speech perception for their second language compared with monolingual speakers under unfavourable listening conditions (e.g., noise or reverberation), despite performing similarly to monolingual speakers under quiet conditions. This deficit persists for speakers highly proficient in their second language and is greater in tho...
