摘要

摘要:本文报道了一项AXB感知测试的结果,该测试调查了波兰语和克罗地亚语学习者在感知英语时态不严时对质量和/或持续时间线索的依赖。克罗地亚参与者在L1中有音位元音长度差异,他们在分类中主要依赖持续时间作为线索。相比之下,波兰语学习者主要依赖前元音和后元音的质量,尽管波兰语中的后元音没有与英语中的时态对比平行的质量对比。只要假设是对比而不是音素(类别)触发了脱敏,并且L1主导的感知策略可以被推广用于对L1中没有明显对应物的L2类别进行分类,这些发现就不会与Bohn的脱敏假说相矛盾。我们发现,学习者的策略会随着熟练程度的提高而变化。学习者在使用主导线索方面有所提高。它们还提高了线索的贡献,也就是说,它们对光谱线索的依赖更加自然。Escudero(2000)的假设没有得到支持,即所有二语学习者首先都会经历一个过度依赖持续线索的阶段,而不考虑一语的音位对比。

Temporal Versus Spectral Cues in L2 Perception of Vowels: A Study with Polish and Croatian Learners of English
Abstract:This paper reports results of an AXB perceptual test investigating participants' reliance on quality and/or duration cues in perception of English tense-lax distinction in L2 Polish and Croatian learners. Croatian participants, who have phonemic vowel length distinction in their L1, rely mainly on duration as a cue in categorization. In contrast, Polish learners rely predominantly on quality in both front and back vowels, although there is no quality contrast in back vowels in Polish that would be parallel to the tenseness contrast in English. The findings do not contradict Bohn's Desensitization Hypothesis as long as one assumes that it is contrasts and not phonemes (categories) that trigger desensitization and that L1 dominant perceptual strategies may be generalized to be used for categorization of L2 categories that have no obvious counterparts in L1. We have found that learners' strategies evolve with level of proficiency. Learners improve in the use of the dominant cues. They also improve on the contribution of cues, that is, they achieve a more native-like reliance on spectral cues. No support was found for Escudero's (2000) hypothesis that all L2 learners first go through a phase of overreliance on durational cues irrespective of the phonemic contrasts of L1.

期刊介绍: Journal of Slavic Linguistics, or JSL, is the official journal of the Slavic Linguistics Society. JSL publishes research articles and book reviews that address the description and analysis of Slavic languages and that are of general interest to linguists. Published papers deal with any aspect of synchronic or diachronic Slavic linguistics – phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, or pragmatics – which raises substantive problems of broad theoretical concern or proposes significant descriptive generalizations. Comparative studies and formal analyses are also published. Different theoretical orientations are represented in the journal. One volume (two issues) is published per year, ca. 360 pp.
