EFL Conversational Triads: Foreigner-directed Speech and Hyperarticulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
The study examines interactions associated with foreignerdirected speech (FDS) within EFL triadic conversation exam where learners differ in outspokenness. The results showed that learners’ outspokenness affected foreign examiners’ vowel articulation. More vowels underwent distinct change across learners’ positive-coded utterances in F2, whereas in F1 the vowel change in the high-communicative group during the introduction of a new question was the greatest source of variation. The findings suggest that native speakers tend to hyperarticulate during interactions with the low-communicate group, and probably with didactic intent to instruct or smooth communicative situations, in particular during more encouraging speech acts.

"look at the Shark": Evaluation of Student Produced Standardized Sentences of Infant- and Foreigner-directed Speech
We evaluated two speech research paradigms by comparing standardized sentences to ‘free speech’ (both produced by students without interaction partner). Samples of infant(IDS), foreigner(FDS) and adult-directed speech (ADS) were acoustically analyzed for F0 and hyperarticulation. No difference for hyperarticulation was found between IDS, FDS and ADS, which is in contrast to natural speech and i...

Forty talkers participated in problem-solving tasks with another talker in conditions differing in communication difficulty for the interlocutor. A linguistic barrier condition (L2 interlocutor) was compared to acoustic barrier conditions (native interlocutors hearing vocoded or noisy speech). Talkers made acoustic-phonetic enhancements in all barrier conditions compared to the no-barrier condi...

Foreigner-directed and Lombard speech are two examples of speech modes that have increased intelligibility compared to normal speech. Investigating the interactions between altered speech modes and phonological contrasts may throw light on the question of which details are vital in intelligibility enhancement. The present study compares the production of vowel shortening in English, a duration-...
