High stimulus variability in nonnative speech learning supports formation of abstract categories: evidence from Japanese geminates.
This study reports effects of a high-variability training procedure on nonnative learning of a Japanese geminate-singleton fricative contrast. Thirty native speakers of Dutch took part in a 5-day training procedure in which they identified geminate and singleton variants of the Japanese fricative /s/. Participants were trained with either many repetitions of a limited set of words recorded by a...
متن کاملPERCEPTUAL TRAINING EFFECTS ON PRODUCTION OF ENGLISH /r/-/l/ BY JAPANESE SPEAKERS
English /r/-/l/ perceptual training for Japanese speakers can improve production. However, it is unclear whether Japanese speakers actually improve their production of the primary acoustic cue for English /r/ and /l/, the third formant frequency (F3). The present study tested whether an English /r/-/l/ identification training program improves Japanese speakers’ production of these phonemes in t...
متن کاملMEASURING KNOWLEDGE OF ENGLISH ORTHOTACTICS IN JAPANESE LEARNERS OF ENGLISH: TOWARDS THE ESTABLISHMENT OF A TRAINING SCHEME FOR /l/-/r/ PERCEPTION
Existing regimes on training Japanese learners of English to acquire the nonnative contrast /l/ and /r/ in English focus on having the learners attend to differences in acoustics cues. Such training does show a certain amount of improvement in /l/-/r/ discrimination among Japanese learners, yet the level of achievement is not equivalent to the performance of native speakers. In light of the fac...
متن کاملIdentification vs. discrimination training: Learning effects for trained and untrained sounds
This paper presents the results of two high variability phonetic training regimes aimed at improving the perception of five English vowels, namely /æ, ʌ, ɪ, i, ɜː/ by Spanish/Catalan speakers learning English as a second language (L2). 60 learners of English as an L2 took part in a pretest/training/post-test study and were assigned to one of two training methods (forced-choice identification tr...
متن کاملTeaching the /r/-/l/ discrimination to Japanese adults: behavioral and neural aspects.
Several studies have been conducted to address the learning of a nonnative speech contrast in adulthood, using native speakers of Japanese and the English /r/-/l/ contrast. Japanese adults were asked to identify contrasting /r/-/l/ stimuli (e.g., "rock-lock"). An adaptive training regime starting with initially easy stimuli was contrasted with a fixed training regime using difficult stimuli, wi...
