Phonetic input, phonological categories and orthographic representations: A psycholinguistic perspective on why language education needs oral corpora. The case of French-Japanese interphonology development
TLDR
This paper examines a series of work that report a positive effect of high-variability stimuli training for Japanese learners of English on the perception and production of the /r/-/l/ distinction.
Effects of Orthographic Forms on Second Language Speech Production and Phonological Awareness, With Consideration of Speaker‐Level Predictors
Orthographic forms (spellings) can affect pronunciation in a second language (L2); however, it is not known whether the same orthographic form can affect both L2 pronunciation and metalinguistic…
Second language phonology at the interface between acoustic and orthographic input
Recently researchers have become increasingly interested in the influence of orthographic forms on second language (L2) phonology. Orthographic forms (or spellings) represent the sounds and words of…
The influence of orthography in second language phonological acquisition
Abstract We provide an exhaustive review of studies in the relatively new domain of research on the influence of orthography on second language (L2) phonological acquisition. While language teachers…
Effects of Orthographic Forms on the Acquisition of Novel Spoken Words in a Second Language
The orthographic forms of words (spellings) can affect word production in speakers of second languages. This study tested whether presenting orthographic forms during L2 word learning can lead…
Echoes of L1 Syllable Structure in L2 Phoneme Recognition
TLDR
It is argued from results that neither acoustic informativity nor interference of a listener’s phonological knowledge is superior, and a cognitively inspired rational cue integration framework is sketched as a third hypothesis to explain how L1 phonologicalknowledge affects L2 perception.
VOWEL EPENTHESIS AND SEGMENT IDENTITY IN KOREAN LEARNERS OF ENGLISH
Recent literature has sought to understand the presence of epenthetic vowels after the productions of postvocalic word-final consonants by second language (L2) learners whose first languages (L1s)…
Corpus-based L2 phonological data and semi-automatic perceptual analysis: the case of nasal vowels produced by beginner Japanese learners of French
TLDR
A perceptual coding procedure and a piece of dedicated software aimed at providing an intermediate stage between fine-grained acoustic analyses and coarse- grained phonological categorization, such as ‘substitution’ or ‘deletion’, of nonnative productions are developed.
PL2 production of english word-final consonants: the role of orthography and learner profile variables
TLDR
The results indicate that even in an L2 context, the transfer of L1 sound-spelling correspondence to the production of L2 word-final consonants is frequent and the findings reveal that extensive exposure to rich L2 input leads to the development of proficiency and improves production ofL1 word- final consonants.
A formal account of the interaction of orthography and perception
TLDR
This combined model is shown to be able to account for simultaneous orthographic and perceptual borrowings in Italian, as well as to hold for reading and perception outside the realm of loanword adaptation.
