The Revised Speech Learning Model (SLM-r)
Here we present the revised Speech Learning Model (SLM-r), an individual differences model that aims to account for how phonetic systems reorganize over the life-span in response to the phonetic input received during naturalistic second language (L2) learning. We first review research leading to the formulation of the Speech Learning Model, or SLM, before presenting a synthesis of that model and then its revision. The SLM-r proposes that the mech…
Native-language phonetic and phonological influences on perception of American English approximants by Danish and German listeners
Natural Referent Vowel (NRV) framework: An emerging view of early phonetic development
The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of an emerging new framework for understanding early phonetic development—the Natural Referent Vowel (NRV) framework. The initial support for this framework was the finding that directional asymmetries occur often in infant vowel discrimination. The asymmetries point to an underlying perceptual bias favoring vowels that fall closer to the periphery of the F1/F2 vowel space. In Polka and Bohn (2003) …
Language Experience in Second Language Speech Learning: In honor of James Emil Flege
This stimulating collection of articles from leading international researchers provides a state-of-the-art overview of core issues in second language speech perception and production. Aimed at phoneticians, speech scientists, psycholinguists, applied linguists, and pedagogical specialists, it presents engaging discussions of fundamental problems and controversies within the field, as well as new empirical findings arising from a variety of method…

How to organize a fairly large vowel inventory: The vowels of Fering (North Frisian)
This paper presents parts of the results of the first stage in the phonetic documentation of Fering, a dialect of North Frisian. Descriptions of Fering indicate that it has a large vowel inventory (15 monophthongs, 7 diphthongs, and 3 triphthongs). Ten older male native speakers were recorded, producing the vowel and consonant inventory at different speaking rates, in different phonetic contexts, and in different speaking styles. The results of t…
Effects of experience on non-native speakers' production and perception of English vowels
Perceptual switching in Spanish/English bilinguals
The Production of New and Similar Vowels by Adult German Learners of English
The study reported in this paper examined the effect of second language (L2) experience on the production of L2 vowels for which acoustic counterparts are either present or absent in the first language (L1). The hypothesis being tested was that amount of L2 experience would not affect L1 German speakers' production of the “similar” English vowels /i, l, ∈/, whereas English language experience would enable L1 Germans to produce an English-like /æ/…
Interlingual identification and the role of foreign language experience in L2 vowel perception
This article examines the perception of four English vowels (/i, i, ε, æ/) by adult native speakers of German. From the standpoint of German, it appears that English /i, i,ε/ are perceptually similar, if not identical, to German /i, i, ε,/ whereas /ε/ is a “new” vowel for German learners of English. The role of foreign language experience in the perception of second language vowels was examined through labeling responses to members of synthetic c…
