The Role of Representational Gestures and Speech Synchronicity in Auditory Input by L2 and L1 Speakers
Mandarin Chinese-speaking learners’ acquisition of Italian consonant length contrast
Acquiring Italian stop consonants: A challenge for Mandarin Chinese-speaking learners
The acquisition of Italian stop consonants by Mandarin Chinese-speaking learners has hardly been investigated. This study was designed to fill this gap. To investigate Chinese learners’ acquisition patterns of Italian voiced and voiceless stops, a perception experiment and a production experiment were conducted. Twenty Mandarin Chinese-speaking undergraduate students majoring in Italian, five native Italian and five native Mandarin speakers serve…
Capturing Cross-linguistic Differences in Macro-rhythm: The Case of Italian and English
We tested the hypothesis that languages can be classified by their degree of tonal rhythm (Jun, 2014). The tonal rhythms of English and Italian were quantified using the following parameters: (a) regularity of tonal alternations in time, measured as durational variability in peak-to-peak and valley-to-valley intervals; (b) magnitude of F0 excursions, measured as the range of frequencies covered by the speaker between consecutive F0 maxima and min…
Relative Salience of Speech Rhythm and Speech Rate on Perceived Foreign Accent in a Second Language
We investigated the independent contribution of speech rate and speech rhythm to perceived foreign accent. To address this issue we used a resynthesis technique that allows neutralizing segmental and tonal idiosyncrasies between identical sentences produced by French learners of English at different proficiency levels and maintaining the idiosyncrasies pertaining to prosodic timing patterns. We created stimuli that (1) preserved the idiosyncrasie…
