Differential effects of hand and mouth gesture training on L2 English pronunciation
Human communication inherently integrates speech and gesture. Acquiring second language (L2) pronunciation, encompassing both segmental (e.g., vowels) and suprasegmental features (e.g., rhythm, fluency), remains a major challenge. This study investigated how two types of gesture training—manual (hand gesture training) versus articulatory (mouth gesture training)—influence these features in Japanese EFL learners. Forty university students particip…
Perceptions of male vs. female English L2 speaker comprehensibility
Evaluation of English as an additional language (L2) speech comprehensibility in classroom and standardized test situations is important for students’ academic and career success. While previous research has found phonetic differences between male and female speech, as well as disparities in language learning ability and academic achievement, little is known about how these gender-related factors affect listener evaluations of L2 speech. This stu…
Sibilant Fricative Merging in Taiwan Mandarin
In Taiwan Mandarin, retroflex [ʂ] is allegedly merging with dental [s], reducing the traditional three-way contrast between sibilant fricatives (i.e., dental [s]–retroflex [ʂ]–alveopalatal [ɕ]) to a two-way contrast. Most of the literature on the observed merging focuses on the acoustic properties and perceptual identification of the sibilants, whereas much less attention has been drawn to the articulatory evidence accounting for the aforemention…
