Studies in Phonetic Abilities of Second Language Learners


Several related projects examining the development of phonetic abilities of second language learners.  Below, they are organized by topics: Consonant Identification Patterns, Inter-personal Variation, Perceptual Modelling, Rate Normalization, Orthography in SLA Research, and Syllabification. 

Projects supported originally by NIDCD Grant R03 DC04095 and NSF Grant BCS-9910701 (“Articulatory and Perceptual Correlates of Syllable Structure”), from September, 2000 – August, 2003, and NSF Grant BCS-04406540 (“Prosody in Cross-Language Production and Perception”).
