Non-linear dynamics of adult non-native phoneme acquisition perception and production

A number of formal models of non-native speech perception make predictions regarding ease of discrimination based on the phonetic similarity of non-native phonemes to phonemes from the learner’s native phonology (Best, McRoberts, & Goodell, 2001; J. Flege, 1995; Kuhl, et al., 2008). Recently, individual differences in non-native sound learning have been examined from a dynamical perspective, focusing on initial perceptual abilities of[Leer más]

Perception of foreign accent in Spanish by native and nonnative listeners: Investigating the role of VOT and speech rate

Previous research on the perception of foreign accent has focused on the ratings of native and near-native listeners and few studies have explored the perception of degree of foreign accent by nonnative listeners, despite the fact that it could shed light on what language learners perceive as foreign-accented and potentially tell us about their developing system. The present dissertation aims to investigate the perception of degree of foreign[Leer más]
