Variability in L2 phonology: a plea for a dynamic, process-based methodology
نویسنده
چکیده
Even though the most important questions about the acquisition of (L2) sound systems concern change over time (like the effect of age of onset; acquisition orders, perception vs. production; implicational relationships), most research has investigated the outcomes of phonological development rather than the process itself. I will argue that only a longitudinal, processbased approach can truly inform us about the developmental process. In this paper I will report on two longitudinal case studies of English learners of Dutch.

On the role of L1 speech production in L2 perception: evidence from Spanish learners of French
Spanish (L2) speakers have difficulty in perceiving the French vowel height contrast /e/-/ /. L2 perception models attribute this perceptual difficulty to native (L1) phonology. For example, the Spanish /e/ vowel, which is perceptually similar to both French vowels, is assumed to influence their perception through an assimilation process. This pattern of assimilation depends upon the degree of ...
متن کاملPhonologically Constrained Variability in L1 and L2 Production and Perception
The Special Issue (SI) “Phonologically constrained variability in L1 and L2 production and perception” contains a set of papers that substantially expand upon selected oral presentations at the conference Phonetics and Phonology in Iberia (PaPI), held in Lisbon in 2013. The papers converge in addressing a thematically coherent topic of current theoretical interest and importance at the interfac...
متن کاملExperience as a factor in L2 phonological acquisition
This paper discusses the question of the effect of experience in the use of a second language (L2) as a factor in the acquisition of L2 phonology. In a recent study of the acquisition of the Swedish quantity contrast a considerable inter-subject variability in the ability to produce and perceive this aspect of the L2 could be observed. The possibility that this variability could be due to varia...

In some statistical process control applications, the quality of the product is characterized by thecombination of both correlated variable and attributes quality characteristics. In this paper, we propose anovel control scheme based on the combination of two multi-layer perceptron neural networks forsimultaneous monitoring of mean vector as well as the covariance matrix in multivariate-attribu...
متن کاملAn ANOVA Based Analytical Dynamic Matrix Controller Tuning Procedure for FOPDT Models
Dynamic Matrix Control (DMC) is a widely used model predictive controller (MPC) in industrial plants. The successful implementation of DMC in practical applications requires a proper tuning of the controller. The available tuning procedures are mainly based on experience and empirical results. This paper develops an analytical tool for DMC tuning. It is based on the application of Analysis of V...
