Simultaneous Bilinguals and Flege’s Speech Learning Model
نویسنده
چکیده
The applicability of Flege’s Speech Learning Model (SLM) to simultaneous bilinguals is examined in related experiments on the acquisition of the production and perception of the voicing contrast in simultaneous French-English bilinguals. The results show that the SLM can account for the data providing account is taken of the degree of bilinguals’ exposure to each language.

Effects of Early and Late Bilingualism on Resting-State Functional Connectivity.
UNLABELLED Of current interest is how variations in early language experience shape patterns of functional connectivity in the human brain. In the present study, we compared simultaneous (two languages from birth) and sequential (second language learned after age 5 years) bilinguals using a seed-based resting-state MRI approach. We focused on the inferior frontal gyrus (IFG) as our ROI, as rece...

متن کاملNeural activation in speech production and reading aloud in native and non-native languages
We used fMRI to investigate neural activation in reading aloud in bilinguals differing in age of acquisition. Three groups were compared: French-English bilinguals who acquired two languages from birth (simultaneous), French-English bilinguals who learned their L2 after the age of 5 years (sequential), and English-speaking monolinguals. While the bilingual groups contrasted in age of acquisitio...
متن کاملComparative Study of Degree of Bilingualism in Lexical Retrieval and Language Learning Strategies
This study compares lexical retrieval amongst monolinguals and intermediate bilinguals and advanced bilinguals. It also investigates the possible effects of their language learning strategies on their respective lexical retrieval advantage. The study used a mixed methods design and the groups consisted of 20 Persian near-monolinguals, 20 Persian-English intermediate level bilinguals, and 20 Per...
متن کاملSpeech Perception and Production by Sequential Bilingual Children: A Longitudinal Study of Voice Onset Time Acquisition
The majority of bilingual speech research has focused on simultaneous bilinguals. Yet, in immigrant communities, children are often initially exposed to their family language (L1), before becoming gradually immersed in the host country's language (L2). This is typically referred to as sequential bilingualism. Using a longitudinal design, this study explored the perception and production of the ...
