Placing Accents. A Quantitave, Perceptual-Dialectological Study of Language Variation in West Frisian
There is a moderate body of work on Frisian dialectology, but no known insight about how Frisians perceive and recognize regional variation. The current study investigates the recognition of Frisian varieties using the map-based accent-recognition task and examines how accurately Frisian listeners can recognize speakers’ regional origin, which Frisian accents listeners distinguish and whether perceptual isoglosses delineate different accents. The…

First language effects on the identification and evaluation of second language speech: The case of second language Dutch as spoken by Francophone learners
In Belgium, Dutch as spoken by Francophone learners is relatively frequent in political, commercial or educational contexts. While the characteristics of this second language (L2) variety have been studied extensively, there is to date no systematic report of how it is evaluated by either native speakers of Dutch or non-natives. Previous studies conducted in other language contexts have found that non-natives tend to be very critical towards L2 a…
Linking Variation in Perception and Production in Sound Change: Evidence from Dutch Obstruent Devoicing
This study investigates the link between the perception and production in sound change in progress, both at the regional and the individual level. Two devoicing processes showing regional variation in Dutch are studied: the devoicing of initial labiodental fricatives and of initial bilabial stops. Five regions were selected, to represent different stages of change in progress. For each region, 20 participants took part in production (Study 1) and…
Native speakers’ perceptions of fluency and accent in L2 speech
Oral fluency and foreign accent distinguish L2 from L1 speech production. In language testing practices, both fluency and accent are usually assessed by raters. This study investigates what exactly native raters of fluency and accent take into account when judging L2. Our aim is to explore the relationship between objectively measured temporal, segmental and suprasegmental properties of speech on the one hand, and fluency and accent as rated by n…
What makes speech sound fluent? The contributions of pauses, speed and repairs
The oral fluency level of an L2 speaker is often used as a measure in assessing language proficiency. The present study reports on four experiments investigating the contributions of three fluency aspects (pauses, speed and repairs) to perceived fluency. In Experiment 1 untrained raters evaluated the oral fluency of L2 Dutch speakers. Using specific acoustic measures of pause, speed and repair phenomena, linear regression analyses revealed that p…
