Comprehensibility and Accentedness in Second Language Pronunciation
2023The recent ‘multilingual turn’ in applied linguistics which rejects dominant monolingual ideologies and ‘the idealized native speaker,’ while prioritizing multilingual competencies and repertoires is in lockstep with broader discussions in the Arts and Humanities focused on social justice and celebrating diversity.

The role of foreign-accentedness in lexical processing
The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2007Previous evidence indicates that foreign-accented speech influences spoken word recognition (accented stimuli are processed with reduced accuracy and slower response times). The present study aims to extend and further explore the relationship between foreign-accentedness and spoken word recognition. Specifically, the present study strives to determine

Self‐Assessment of Comprehensibility and Accentedness in Second Language Korean
Language Learning, 2022AbstractThis study investigated L2 Korean speakers’ self‐assessment of speech comprehensibility and accentedness, including a conceptual replication of Trofimovich, Isaacs, Kennedy, Saito, and Crowther (2016, Experiment 1) and exploratory analyses of individual differences in self‐assessment.

A note on native and non-native accentedness judgements
2021Talkers in a second language can readily be identified as speaking with a foreign accent, characterized by both specific and more general deviations from the phonology of a target language. In this study, we examined the identifications of native and non-native talkers by listeners with various amounts of knowledge of the target language.

Scaling of apparent accentedness by magnitude estimation and sensory modality matching
Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 1975In each of three experiments, 24 students judged the accentedness present in the speech of eight Spanish-English bilinguals. Ss gave magnitude estimations and also squeezed a hand dynamometer to indicate the amount of accentedness in the reading of an English passage by each of the speakers. There was significant agreement among Ss regarding the speech

Foreign accentedness in third language acquisition
2012Research on the phonological acquisition of a third language (L3) is still in its infancy; therefore, the present contribution is intended to further investigate the area by focusing on the phenomenon of foreign accentedness and the widely disputed sources of cross-linguistic influence in L3 phonology.

Proceedings of Meetings on Acoustics, 2013
Many second language (L2) learners, particularly adult learners, retain foreign accent on their L2 production. What acoustic sources give rise to the perception of foreign accent? This study examines beginning and intermediate Chinese learners’ production of Japanese in terms of segmental and suprasegmental features and investigates the relationship ...

The foreign-accentedness, comprehensibility, and intelligibility of L2 Arabic speech
Language Teaching Research, 2023This study investigated foreign-accentedness, comprehensibility, and intelligibility in second language (L2) Arabic speech. More specifically, it was designed to 1) measure how foreign-accented, comprehensible, and intelligible L2 Arabic speech was, 2) explain the relationships among those three global aspects, and 3) determine the extent to which ...
