Shifting Perceptual Weights in L2 Vowel Identification after Training
Difficulties with second-language vowel perception may be related to the significant challenges in using acoustic-phonetic cues. This study investigated the effects of perception training with duration-equalized vowels on native Chinese listeners' English vowel perception and their use of acoustic-phonetic cues. Seventeen native Chinese listeners were perceptually trained with duration-equalize...
متن کاملAttention to Critical Acoustic Features for L2 Phonemic Identification and its Implication on L2 Perceptual Training
This study examined whether native speakers of Japanese could attend to critical acoustic features while identifying lenis and aspirated among Korean alveolar stops. Most Japanese participants had studied Korean for more than one year at a university language center in Korea. Native speakers of Korean were also tested with the same task for comparison. Korean participants discriminated the phon...
متن کاملPerceptual Development on the Identification of Length in L2 Japanese
This study explored perceptual development on the identification of word-final vowel length in L2 Japanese in terms of boundary location and width. Native speakers of Chinese (NC) and Japanese (NJ) participated in the study. The NC were further classified into two, NC-higher or NC-lower. NC-lower demonstrated wider boundary width and greater boundary location than the other two did, but NJ and ...
متن کاملVowel epenthesis in Japanese speakers' L2 English
This study investigated how vowel epenthesis, a typical suprasegmental error produced by Japanese learners of English, is realized in their speech production of L2 English. We investigated two aspects: (i) whether loanword epenthesis phonology in Japanese transfers to English speech production, and (ii) how learners’ English proficiency level affects vowel epenthesis. In Japanese loanword phono...
متن کاملThe role of vowel duration cue in L1: Effects on L2 learners' identification of phonological vowel length in Japanese
This study investigated the effects of learners’ L1 on their identification of Japanese phonological vowel length at three speaking rates. Native listeners of Japanese (NJ) and learners of Japanese with L1 backgrounds in Finnish (NFin), American English (NE), Russian (NR), and French (NFr) participated in the study. The results showed that the proportion of “long” responses increased as a funct...
