Abstract

Two acoustic studies of voice onset time (VOT) in sibilant–stop (ST) consonant clusters, produced by first language (L1) speakers of Polish, are presented. In the first, a baseline study of L1 Polish comparing ST clusters with initial singleton stops, a small degree of VOT shortening after /s/ was found for /p/, but not /t/. The second study compared ST productions by L1 Polish speakers of second language (L2) English across two levels of proficiency, speaking in both L1 and L2. Rather than shortening post-/s/ VOT, as is common in L1 English, speakers from both proficiency groups exhibited longer VOT in their L2 than in their L1. These results are consistent with the claim that Polish learners of English mistakenly apply the long VOT of L2 English singleton fortis stops in the post-/s/ position. A phonological interpretation of the results within the Onset Prominence framework is provided.

寻找共同的语音空间:母语波兰语和第二语言英语中的/s/-顿音集群

两项声学研究的声音开始时间(VOT)在sibilant - stops (ST)辅音集群，由第一语言(L1)波兰语的发言者产生，提出。首先，对L1波兰语的基线研究比较了ST集群与初始单停顿，发现/p/在/s/之后有小程度的VOT缩短，而不是/t/。第二项研究比较了母语为波兰语的第二语言(L2)英语使用者在两个熟练程度水平上的ST作品，他们同时说L1和L2语言。不同于在母语英语中常见的缩短后/s/ VOT，来自两个熟练程度组的人在第二语言中表现出比母语更长的VOT。这些结果与波兰英语学习者错误地在-/s/后位置使用第二语言英语单语长VOT的说法一致。在开始突出框架内提供了结果的音系解释。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
