This study is part of a larger project investigating the acquisition of stable vowel-plus-consonant timing patterns needed to convey the phonemic vowel length and the voicing contrast in German. The research is motivated by findings showing greater temporal variability in children until the age of 12. The specific aims of the current study were to test (1) whether temporal variability in the pr...

This study evaluated Korean early learners’ production of English vowels and consonants before and after high variability phonetic training (HVPT), for the purpose of investigating the effects of perceptual training on speech production. Korean learners aged 11-12 were trained to discriminate multiple sets of English vowel and consonant contrasts, and their preand posttraining recordings were e...
