Production of English vowel duration by multilingual speakers of Namibian English: Namibian English vowel durations
The aim of this study was to examine spoken Namibian English by investigating how multilingual Namibian speakers produce vowel durations in pre-lenis and pre-fortis positions, and how those vowel durations compare to British English vowel durations in the same words. In British English and most other English varieties, vowel duration is affected by the voicing of the following consonant, so that vowels preceding phonologically voiced consonants a…
Training non-native speech sounds results in long-lasting plastic changes - Hard-wiring new memory traces takes time
Training of a foreign language speech sound pair may lead to the formation of new memory traces in young adults who are not very experienced in the target language, as well as to the strengthening of existing memory traces in advanced target language students. We used listen-and-repeat training to test whether previously formed memory traces exist approximately a year later. Further, we compared these learning results with those obtained from adv…
Orthography does not hinder non-native production learning in children
Children are known to be fast learners due to their neural plasticity. Learning a non-native language (L2) requires the mastering of new production patterns. In classroom settings, learners are not only exposed to the acoustic input, but also to the unfamiliar grapheme–phoneme correspondences of the L2 orthography. We tested how 9–10-year-old children, with Finnish as a native language (L1), respond to a two-day listen-and-repeat training paradig…
Motoric Training Alters Speech Sound Perception and Production — Active Listening Training Does Not Lead into Learning Outcomes
Accurate speech-sound perception and production are prerequisites for communication in a non-native language. Earlier research has shown that new categorization and pronunciation patterns evolve in different learning settings and that these skills can be trained with various methods. We tested the effects of two types of training protocols on the production and identification of L2 vowels embedded in a pseudo-word context. Group 1 (Producers) par…
