Previous research suggests that native listeners may be more tolerant to syntactic errors when they are produced in a foreign accent. However, studies investigating this topic within the semantic domain remain conflicting. The current study examined effects of mispronunciations leading abnormality foreign-accented speech. While their EEG was recorded, speakers Spanish listened semantically corr...
This paper examines the foreign accent in Brazilian Portuguese and Japanese. In the first experiment, Japanese speech samples of Japanese-descent Brazilians were compared to those of native Japanese speakers, as evaluated by Japanese, and in the second experiment, Portuguese speech samples of native Japanese speakers were compared to those of Japanesedescent Brazilians, as evaluated by Brazilia...
INTRODUCTION If ever attained, adopting native-like accent is achieved late in the learning process. Resemblance between L2 and mother tongue can facilitate L2 learning. In particular, cognates (phonologically and semantically similar words across languages), offer the opportunity to examine the issue of foreign accent in quite a unique manner. METHODS Twelve Spanish speaking (L1) adults lear...
We describe the case of a 36-year-old native speaker of English who began using a foreign accent after abrupt onset of problems involving multiple sensory and motor functions. Neurological and neuroradiological examinations were within normal limits and no organic explanation for the difficulties could be identified. After eight months, the patient made a full recovery, allowing a detailed comp...
The paper evaluates Chinese EFL (English Foreign Language) learners’ attitudinal responses toward Chinese accent. Questionnaires administered among 81 intermediate proficiency EFL learners who were from China and UK (70 of whom were university students, 11 of whom were university English teachers). Results show clearly that the respondents do not have significant negative attitude towards their...
How does noise affect perception of foreign accented speech? English sentences spoken by non-native talkers with various language backgrounds were presented to native speakers. The Speech Reception Threshold (SRT) was found for 5 different accent classes, and contrasted with noise-free intelligibility. Modest trends towards global differences in intelligibility based on accent class were found,...
The current study explores the potential influence of an L2 on the acquisition of L3, in the context of English speaking learners of Japanese (the L2) and Korean (the L3). As a mean to assess the degree of influence of the L1 accent and L2 accent in L3 production, an experiment involving the perceptual judgment of a foreign accent was developed. Two groups of native English speakers [(i) five w...
2. Method In an experimental setting native speakers of American English are asked to read short German stories and repeat short German utterances. During the recording sessions they also produce a number of samples of German spontaneous speech. The recorded utterances are then examined for non−native intonation patterns, which are either obviously inappropriate for German or just to some small...
