- Contents
- Why is it that, when learning a language other than our native language (L2), some of its sounds are so difficult for us to perceive and produce correctly? And why do most of us still retain a noticeable foreign-sounding accent when we speak in an L2, even after years and years of instruction and extensive exposure to said L2? In this proseminar, we will try to find an answer to these questions while we focus on a linguistic situation that should be quite common here in Erlangen; that of native German speakers who learn English as an L2. We will quickly review the basic foundations of phonetics and phonology, try to anticipate the potential difficulties of German learners of English by means of contrastive phonological analysis, read about how these difficulties have been examined in scientific research using acoustic and behavioral measures, and even gain insights on how to conduct an experiment ourselves. Most importantly, we will also discuss the consequences that difficulties with specific L2 sounds (e.g., the initial sound of the words think and thief) have on the different levels of processing and representation involved in spoken communication (e.g. phonological, lexical, semantic).
