Tonal language experience facilitates pitch perception in L2/3 Japanese
This study tested nine groups of listeners on their discrimination of three pitch accent patterns in Japanese-like nonwords. We performed three analyses on listeners’ pitch discrimination accuracy. The first compared two tonal language-speaking groups (Mandarin and Cantonese), the second involved L1 English groups with tonal or nontonal L2 classroom experience, and the third L2/3 Japanese learners at two proficiency levels. The main finding of th…
Lexical accent perception in highly-proficient L2 Japanese learners: The roles of language-specific experience and domain-general resources
This article reports empirical findings on the roles of domain-general resources and language-specific experience in the second language (L2) acquisition of Japanese lexical pitch accent. Sixty-one advanced-proficiency L2 Japanese learners from two first languages (L1s), Mandarin Chinese and Korean, identified and categorized Japanese nouns embedded in short sentences in two aurally-presented tasks. Mixed effects models showed that although the t…
Predicting lexical accent perception in native J apanese speakers: An investigation of acoustic pitch sensitivity and working memory
Spoken language perception may be constrained by a listener's cognitive resources, including verbal working memory ( WM ) capacity and basic auditory perception mechanisms. For J apanese listeners, it is unknown how, or even if, these resources are involved in the processing of pitch accent at the word level. The present study examined the extent to which native Japanese speakers could make correctness judgments on and categorize spoken Japanese …
