Nonnative and second-language speech perception: Commonalities and complementarities
Language experience systematically constrains perception of speech contrasts that deviate phonologically and/or phonetically from those of the listener’s native language. These effects are most dramatic in adults, but begin to emerge in infancy and undergo further development through at least early childhood. The central question addressed here is: How do nonnative speech perception findings be...
متن کاملLanguage Specificity in Speech Perception: Perception of Mandarin Tones by Native and Nonnative Listeners
The results reported in this paper indicate that native speakers of Mandarin Chinese rate the perceptual similarities among the lexical tones of Mandarin differently than do native speakers of American English. Mandarin listeners were sensitive to tone contour while English listeners attended to pitch levels. Chinese listeners also rated tones that are neutralized by phonological tone sandhi ru...
متن کاملPerception of Nonnative Accent: A Cross-Sectional Perspective Pilot Survey
Accent bias is a consequence of ethnocentrism. No studies have examined accent bias across educational levels in the U.S., much less across students and professionals in speech language pathology (SLP), a field that requires multicultural sensitivity training. This study examines nonnative accent perception among three groups—high schoolers, SLP students, and SLP professionals. One-hundred-and-...
متن کاملRunning 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...
