However, strong associations between phonological working memory and L2 aptitude have been previously found in early-stage learners only, not in a...

متن کاملPronunciation dependent language models
Speech recognition systems are conventionally broken up into phonemic acoustic models, pronouncing dictionaries in terms of the phonemic units in the acoustic model and language models in terms of lexical units from the pronouncing dictionary. Here we explore a new method for incorporating pronunciation probabilities into recognition systems by moving them from the pronouncing lexicon into the ...
متن کاملL2 pronunciation quality in read and spontaneous speech
This paper describes two experiments aimed at exploring the relationship between objective properties of speech and perceived pronunciation quality in read and spontaneous speech, with a view to determining whether such quantitative measures can be used to develop objective pronunciation tests. Read and spontaneous speech of two groups of 60 learners of Dutch as a second language was scored for...
