The successful participant has gained insight into the current theories of L2 phonological acquisition. Learned to read research papers in the field of L2 phonological acquisition, to state a hypothesis about L2 phonological acquisition in such a way that it can be tested by a simple perception experiment, to conduct such an experiment, and to report on the results in a short paper (of about 4000 words).
Inhoud
Acquiring the phonology of a second language (L2) is a process which involves more than learning to pronounce it. It involves an interplay of factors, including the first language (L1) background ('transfer'), properties of human perception and production, and possibly universal factors such as markedness. The course focuses on the question how L2 perception develops, and to what extent L2 production and L2 production are interrelated. Recurrent themes are: similarities and differences between L1 and L2, the role of transfer, the notion of perceptual distance, and the effects of perception training.
