A Longitudinal Investigation of Explicit and Implicit Auditory Processing in L2 Segmental and Suprasegmental Acquisition
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Sun, Hui; Saito, Kazuya; Tierney, Adam – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 2021
Precise auditory perception at a subcortical level (neural representation and encoding of sound) has been suggested as a form of implicit L2 aptitude in naturalistic settings. Emerging evidence suggests that such implicit aptitude explains some variance in L2 speech perception and production among adult learners with different first language…

Differential Neurobehavioral Effects of Cross-Modal Selective Priming on Phonetic and Emotional Prosodic Information in Late Second Language Learners
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kao, Chieh; Zhang, Yang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Spoken language is inherently multimodal and multidimensional in natural settings, but very little is known about how second language (L2) learners undertake multilayered speech signals with both phonetic and affective cues. This study investigated how late L2 learners undertake parallel processing of linguistic and affective information…

The Effects of Suprasegmental Phonological Training on English Reading Comprehension: Evidence from Chinese EFL Learners
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Cui, Gang; Wang, Yuemin; Zhong, Xiaoyun – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021
This study aims to investigate the effect of suprasegmental phonological training on connected-text reading comprehension of Chinese university students with different English reading proficiency levels. A sample of 160 freshmen was recruited and randomly divided into experimental and control groups, and the experimental group was given a 12-week…

Learners' Hypotheses for the Acquisition of Lexis.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Giacobbe, Jorge; Cammarota, Marie-Ange – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 1986
The relationship between the source language (Spanish) and the target language (French) in the construction of lexis during target language acquisition was examined in two case studies, leading to the hypothesis that there are both systematic and nonsystematic approaches to the construction of lexis used by Hispanophones learning French.…

Kaldor, Susan; Shell, Ruth – 1970
Through an experiment investigating the processes used by several speakers of Asian languages to decode passages by speakers of Australian English, this paper seeks to establish and categorize the types of problems encountered by multilingual speakers when decoding the speech of monolingual speakers in one of their (the multilinguals') second…
