Does contextual information within a sentence affect the relationship between word level intelligibility and the Functional Load principle among ELF users? A preliminary study
The Functional Load (FL) principle predicts that a high FL phonemic substitution lowers the intelligbility more than a low FL phonemic substitution. However, as yet no study has comprehensively investigated whether contextual information could attenuate any loss of intelligibility due to FL phonemic substitutions. As such, this study investigates the triangular relationship among the FL principle, word level intelligibility, and contextual inform…
What is the effect of successive segmental repair on the mutual intelligibility of ELF users
Does an ELF phonology exist
This article claims that because English as a lingua franca (ELF) users sometimes orient to phones as something reminiscent of both phonemes and allophones, an ELF phonology exists. However, an ELF phonology necessitates modifying the traditional concepts of phoneme and allophone to account for the fact that ELF users are more often in Transient International Groups than speech communities. Specifically, this study examines pronunciation negotiat…
Beyond intelligibility
Through conversation analysis, this study analyzes the negotiation of pronunciation in English as a lingua franca (ELF) contexts among students at a Japanese university. Previous research has demonstrated that interactants in ELF contexts can repair segmental pronunciation so that they can maintain mutually intelligible pronunciation in situ (e.g., Matsumoto 2011; O'Neal 2015). The present study nevertheless claims that the phonetic negotiation o…
Consonant clusters and intelligibility in English as a Lingua Franca in Japan
This is a qualitative study of the relationship between consonant cluster articulation and intelligibility in English as a Lingua Franca interactions in Japan (Jenkins 2000; Matsumoto 2011). Some research has claimed that the full articulation of consonant clusters in lexeme-initial and lexeme-medial position is critical to the maintenance of intelligibility (Jenkins 2000, 2002, 2007; Walker 2010; Deterding 2013). Using conversation analytic meth…
Interactional intelligibility
This is a qualitative study of the relationship between consonant modification and pronunciation intelligibility in English as a Lingua Franca interactions in Japan. Some research has claimed that the full articulation of many consonants is critical to the maintenance of mutual intelligibility in English as a Lingua Franca interactions. Utilizing conversation analytic methodology to examine a corpus of segmental repair sequences among English spe…
