The perception of Spanish L2 speech by native users
The present study examines how non-native intonation affects the personal traits that native speakers attribute to L1 and L2 speakers of Spanish (whose first language is Swedish). Native Spanish speakers’ judgments are compared to those of Swedish L1 speakers. The evaluated task involves making a restaurant reservation. Results show that Spanish L1 evaluators rate speakers more negatively when assessing non-native speech. A combination of acousti…
The left and right periphery in native and non-native speech – A comparative study between French L1/L2, Spanish L1/L2 and Swedish L1
High-proficient Swedish users of L2 French and Spanish were compared with native speakers of French, Spanish and Swedish with regard to how the syntactic peripheries in natural colloquial speech are structured. Two different though interrelated aspects were included: thus a cross-linguistic analysis comparing the three native speaker groups is combined with an analysis addressing the question of the upper limits of L2 acquisition. All left periph…
Keeping up appearances
Seven groups with ten people in each participated in a simulated activity in which they played the part of employees asking their boss for two days of leave. Four groups were made up of native speakers of British English, Metropolitan French, Chilean Spanish, and Swedish, respectively; the remaining three groups being non-native speakers of British English, Metropolitan French, and Chilean Spanish, with Swedish as their L1, who were long-time res…
Negotiating with the Boss
Elicited conversations with participants engaged in a problematic negotiation with their boss were analyzed in groups of native speakers of British English, Chilean Spanish and Swedish, and in groups of Swedish speakers of L2 English and L2 Spanish (longtime residents in their host community and highly proficient in their L2). Two planes of comparison were involved: cross-culturally, addressing differences between the native groups, and, inter-cu…
Boundary tones in non-native speech
The pragmatic functions of pitch at tone unit boundaries are studied in L2 Spanish spoken by Swedish learners, as compared to L1 Swedish and L1 Spanish. The data are recordings of a task in which the subjects – 10 learners of Spanish and 13 native controls – make a restaurant booking on the phone in Spanish, and the Swedish subjects also perform this task in their L1
Nativelike expression in the speech of long‐residency L 2 users
Nativelike expression in L 2 speech is investigated by comparing quantity and distribution of different types of multiword structures ( MWSs ) in the speech of very advanced L 2 speakers with native speakers. Swedish speakers of L 2 E nglish, L 2 F rench and L 2 S panish (average LOR in the UK , F rance and C hile 7–10 years) performing two oral tasks, a role play, and an online retelling task, are compared with matching native speakers, totallin…
