Eleven English monophones, i.e., /i/, /u/, /a/ etc. are selected as target samples and their corresponding F1& F2 formants are employed as parameters to approach the research aim. Through analyzing the acoustic results, this paper focuses on exploring the degree of phonetic transfer of dialects (L1) onto English (L2). The Speech Learning Model (SLM) is adopted to examine the differences caused by the dialectal accent. The results show that, with regard to the tongue position of vowels, EFL learners from these two dialectal regions do show a great divergence from the American (AM) native speakers. As for DL learners, it is difficult for them to make tense-lax contrasts in/i/-/ɪ/, /$varepsilon$/-/æ/ and /u/-/ʊ/. Specifically, /i/ and /u/ are affected by DL dialect, which can be explained by SLM. On the other hand, /$alpha$/ produced by DL and HRB learners is similar to that of American speakers. Besides, DL and HRB learners produce longer vowels in duration.","PeriodicalId":303819,"journal":{"name":"2018 Oriental COCOSDA - International Conference on Speech Database and Assessments","volume":"16 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132900872","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Structurally a modifier of its antecedent to provide supplementary information, such reduction creates a lower level in the prosodic hierarchy nested within a discourse-prosodic unit. Perceptual annotation of parenthetical turned out to be consistent across listeners; their acoustic profiles distinctive. Further calculation of information density in relation to allocation of perceived emphasis also demonstrates that parenthetical triggered prosodic reductions are patterned and accountable. Therefore, in spite of low information standing, their existence in the prosodic hierarchy helps facilitate more precise information expression. In sum, current evidence illustrates how information planning is manifested via both emphases and reductions in global context prosody, why parenthetical caused reductions should be understood from a hierarchical perspective within speech context, and how prosodic reduction also plays a crucial role in contributing to comprehensive understanding toward context prosody.","PeriodicalId":303819,"journal":{"name":"2018 Oriental COCOSDA - International Conference on Speech Database and Assessments","volume":"102 2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124159284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
