Bufe, Wolfgang – Linguistik und Didaktik, 1976
Handbooks of French phonetics disagree with the findings of phonetic research. Discussed are: differentiating between teaching pronunciation and auditory perception: the difference between acoustic and semantic hearing; and the importance of nasal regressive and progressive assimilation in contemporary spoken French. (Text is in German.) (IFS/WGA)

Masica, Colin – 1972
The phonology of General Indian English (the region-independent variety of English that is considered the norm for India) is analyzed as a step in establishing a standard pronunciation for classroom use in India. A table is appended which presents English sound discriminations that are difficult for Indian learners with various language…

Tarone, Elaine E. – 1972
Recent research in experimental phonetics seems to provide evidence for a clear division between language units and speech units. Many researchers have suggested that the consonant-vowel (CV) syllable may be a universal unit of speech production and perception, while language units become criterial only at higher levels of processing. In second…

KENNEDY, NANCY M. – 1960
THE DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED BY SPEAKERS OF AMERICAN ENGLISH IN ATTEMPTING TO MASTER THE PRONUNCIATION OF EGYPTIAN ARABIC WERE ANALYZED DURING THE REPORTED RESEARCH.

Mueller, Theodore H.; Niedzielski, Henri – 1968
This study conducted at the University of Kentucky in 1967-68 tests the theory of interaction between discrimination and pronunciation through a field test. After a brief review of previous research in phonemic discrimination as related to foreign language learning, the procedures and results of the test are presented. The text used was "Basic…

Schnitzer, Marc L. – International Review of Applied Linguistics in Language Teaching, 1974
An exercise developed to aid an aphasia patient in relearning rules governing phonological changes in English was later used in a pilot study attempting to teach English pronunciation to French speakers by rule rather than by rote. The method used and the results obtained are reported. (RM)

Schnitzer, Marc L. – 1976
The efficacy of teaching the pronunciation of English polysyllables to non-native speakers by means of ordered rules which use standard orthographic representations as underlying forms was tested on two groups consisting mainly of francophones. The experimental group applied ordered quasi-phonological rules to selected words from each of fifteen…

Kettemann, Bernhard – 1975
This paper describes a method of corrective phonetics based on perceptual phonetics, because it is in this area that contact with a foreign language is first established. Methods of correcting phonetic perception by frequency manipulation (using the frequency selector "SUVAG-Lingua") within the framework of the verbo-tonal method of…

Johansson, Stig – 1973
This study sought to test the validity of the claim that certain Swedish and corresponding English vowel phonemes are indistinguishable when presented in a test containing isolated minimally contrastive words. It also sought to find a hierarchy of perceptual differences between Swedish and English phonemes. A series of 40 pairs of monosyllabic…

Stevick, Earl W. – 1976
This book discusses the teaching and learning of a second language in terms of a total human experience and not just an oral-aural or cognitive one. Part one, "Memory," examines some of the research that has been done on memory, and discusses: (1) "Biological Bases for Memory"; (2) "Verbal Memory"; and (3)…
