Learning Second Language Suprasegmentals: Effect of L2 Experience on Prosody and Fluency Characteristics of L2 Speech
Pavel Trofimovich,Wendy Baker +1 more
TL;DR: The authors examined the effects of short, medium, and extended second language (L2) experience (3 months, 3 years, and 10 years of United States residence, respectively) on the production of five suprasegmentals (stress timing, peak alignment, speech rate, pause frequency, and pause duration) in six English declarative sentences by 30 adult Korean learners of English and 10 adult native English speakers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Intelligibility, Comprehensibility, and Accentedness of L2 Speech: The Role of Listener Experience and Semantic Context
Sara Kennedy,Pavel Trofimovich +1 more
TL;DR: The authors investigated how listener experience (extent of previous exposure to non-native speech) and semantic context (degree and type of semantic information available) influence measures of intelligibility, comprehensibility, and accentedness of nonnative (L2) speech.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deconstructing comprehensibility: identifying the linguistic influences on listeners' L2 comprehensibility ratings
Talia Isaacs,Pavel Trofimovich +1 more
TL;DR: This article used a mixed-methods approach to gain a deeper understanding of the linguistic aspects underlying listeners' L2 comprehensibility ratings and identified five speech measures that clearly distinguished between L2 learners at different comprehensibility levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Disentangling accent from comprehensibility
Pavel Trofimovich,Talia Isaacs +1 more
TL;DR: This article found that accent was uniquely related to aspects of phonology, including rhythm and segmental and syllable structure accuracy, while comprehensibility was chiefly linked to grammatical accuracy and lexical richness.
Journal ArticleDOI

Wendy Baker,Pavel Trofimovich +1 more
TL;DR: Results indicated that bilinguals' age profoundly influenced both the degree and the direction of the interaction between the phonetic systems of their native (L1) and second (L2) languages.
