Abstract

Articulatory working space (acoustic and kinematic) is often studied to understand the overall size (limits) of a speaker’s articulatory behaviors. For example, prior research has shown that the magnitude of articulators’ movement (e.g., maximum tongue advancement, lip aperture) changes as a function of speech effort (loud, clear, and slow speech). To better understand second language acquisition in adults (i.e., articulatory working space determined by the language or anatomical differences), we compare both acoustic and kinematic working space of adult learners of English between their first language (L1) and second language (L2), which is also compared with that of native speakers of English. Specifically, the articulatory convex hull is measured during passage reading for both acoustic (F1 and F2 trajectories) and kinematic (tongue trajectories on x- and y-dimensions) data. Participants include 11 adult learners of English (four men and seven women) with a Korean language background and 10 adult L1 speakers of English (six men and four women). In the presentation, the findings will be discussed to address whether articulatory space is (1) different between native and nonnative languages (determined by linguistic needs) or (2) rather a constant articulatory characteristic of speakers between the languages, regardless of the speaker’s English proficiency.
第一语言和第二语言的发音工作空间
发音工作空间(声学和运动学)经常被研究用来了解说话者发音行为的整体大小(限制)。例如,先前的研究表明,发音器官的运动幅度(如最大舌前伸、唇孔径)会随着说话力度(大声、清晰和慢速说话)的变化而变化。为了更好地理解成人的第二语言习得(即由语言或解剖学差异决定的发音工作空间),我们比较了成人英语学习者第一语言(L1)和第二语言(L2)之间的声学和运动学工作空间,并与英语母语者的工作空间进行了比较。具体来说,在段落阅读过程中,对发音凸壳进行声学(F1 和 F2 轨迹)和运动学(舌头在 x 维和 y 维上的轨迹)数据测量。参与者包括 11 名有韩语背景的成人英语学习者(4 男 7 女)和 10 名以英语为第一母语的成人英语学习者(6 男 4 女)。在报告中,将对研究结果进行讨论,以探讨发音空间是否(1)在母语和非母语之间存在差异(由语言需求决定),或者(2)无论说话者的英语水平如何,发音空间都是说话者在不同语言之间的固定发音特征。
