The aim was to test the hypothesis that difficulty in acquiring an L2 contrastive category is related to the role in the L1 of the phonetic feature upon which the L2 category is based. Twenty native speakers each of American English, Latin American Spanish and Estonian participated. The phonologies of the subjects' L1 display three degrees of overall prominence of the duration feature. The subjects, who had all lived in Sweden for at least 10 years, were given a production and perception test to assess their mastery of Swedish quantity. The Estonian subjects performed much like Swedish controls. However, some native English, and even more Spanish subjects, differed from native speakers of Swedish. A follow-up experiment compared matched groups of native English and Spanish subjects. It showed that experienced and inexperienced groups of native English and Spanish adults were equally successful in learning to produce and perceive Swedish quantity distinctions, but that the native English subjects more closely matched native Swedish speakers than the native Spanish subjects did. Taken together, our results support the feature hypothesis in that these subjects' success in learning the Swedish quantity contrast seems to be related to the role of the duration feature in the L1.","PeriodicalId":223246,"journal":{"name":"J.

Nine participants produced tongue twisters that induced errors between /s/ and /z/ word onsets in contexts where the error outcomes were either words (e.g., sit to zit) or nonwords (e.g.,suck to *zuck). Three measurements of the /s/-/z/ contrast were made: (1) percent voicing, (2) duration of frication, and (3) amplitude of frication. The tokens were also transcribed under careful listening conditions. Gradient and categorical errors were found for all acoustic dimensions. The errors might or might not be detected by careful listening, depending on the extent to which there were errors along all three dimensions. These data support previous articulatory studies that found speech errors at a sub-featural level. However, cases where /s/ and /z/ are realized with a categorical change in voicing are more common than would be expected if categorical changes in voicing were merely extreme examples of gradient voicing errors. Also, both gradient and categorical error rates were higher when the error outcomes were words. Thus, our study also provides evidence for the psychological reality of phonological segments and words as units in the speech production process.","PeriodicalId":223246,"journal":{"name":"J.

More specifically, we aimed to investigate the age at which children achieve adult-like competence, both in terms of their consistency in categorizing a range of phonemic contrasts, and in terms of their ability to categorize stimuli with limited acoustic cue information. Six-stimulus synthetic continua were created in which acoustic cues signaling these contrasts were manipulated singly or in combination. Stimuli were presented to 84 normally-hearing children aged between 6;0 and 12;6 years and 13 adult controls in the form of two-alternative forced-choice identification tests using an adaptive procedure. The gradients of the identification functions increased significantly in steepness between the ages of 6 and 12 but, by 12 years, children were still not, on average, categorizing the phonemic contrasts as consistently as adults. This study provides therefore further evidence that phoneme boundary sharpening occurs well into the second decade of life. Children were also less consistent than adults in categorizing continua containing limited acoustic cue information. Children aged 6–12 therefore appear to show less flexibility in their perceptual strategies than adults.","PeriodicalId":223246,"journal":{"name":"J.
