Perception-Production Relationship for /r-l/ by Native Japanese Speakers

چکیده
We examined the possible relationship between perception and production of /r–l/ by native Japanese speakers. Little evidence of a relationship between the cues used for perception and those for production was found for native Japanese and native English speakers. However, we found evidence of a shift from a reliance on conjunctive cues to single cues as listeners progressed from relatively naïve to fully native English speakers.

متن کاملDoes Ultrasound Training Lead to Improved Perception of a Non-native Sound Contrast?: Evidence from Japanese Learners of English
Both the perception and production of speech sounds in a non-native language can be challenging to adult second language learners due to long-time experience with their native language. Numerous studies have investigated how the ability to perceive and produce speech sounds can be modified during adulthood. This study explores whether production training using ultrasound as visual feedback can ...
متن کاملProduction and Perception of Syllable Structure in Second-language Speech
Production and perception of syllables in a second language (L2) that has relatively complex syllable structure, such as English, is expected to be difficult for native speakers of a language with relatively simple syllable structure, such as Japanese. A series of experiments investigated the perception, production, and learning of English syllables by native Japanese speakers. Results showed t...
متن کاملExamination of the Relationship between L2 Perception and Production: An Investigation of English /r/-/l/ Perception and Production by Adult Japanese Speakers
This study took an individual differences approach to examine the relationship between L2 speech perception and production, with the aim of examining whether they share common underlying representations. All Japanese speakers were assessed in terms of their /r/-/l/ identification, discrimination, best exemplars, and production. The results demonstrated that, although there was a moderate correl...
متن کاملDoes training in speech perception modify speech production?
To examine the relationship between speech perception and production in second language acquisition, this study investigated whether training in the perception domain transfers to improvement in the production domain. Native speakers of Japanese were trained to identify English /r/-/l/ minimal pairs. Recordings were made of the subjects’ productions of minimal pairs before and after identificat...
