Abstract:
The present study investigates the impact of a 3-month study abroad (SA) period on second language (L2) phonological development in speech production by means of acoustic-phonetic measures, as well as listeners’ assessment of perceived foreign accent (FA). Speech samples were collected from 23 bilingual Spanish/Catalan learners of English before (Pre-test) and after (Post-test) SA. Acoustic-phonetic measures consisted of measurements for voice onset time (VOT) in voiceless plosives and for vowel duration and quality, together with error rate scores resulting from the computation of pronunciation errors. Perceived FA measures were obtained from a group of native listeners (n=20) and another group of non-native listeners (n=37) who performed a rating task. Results failed to yield a large effect of SA in VOT and vowel measures, although they indicated a slight decrease in perceived FA and a significant improvement in error rate scores after SA. High correlations were found between the acoustic-phonetic measures and the FA ratings. ; Este estudio investiga el impacto de una estancia de 3 meses en el extranjero (ES) en la producción oral de una segunda lengua (L2) a través de medidas fonético-acústicas y de percepción del acento extranjero. El corpus está constituido por datos orales recogidos de un grupo de 23 aprendices de inglés hablantes nativos de español y catalán. Las muestras de habla fueron recogidas antes (Pre-test) y después (Post-test) de la ES. Las medidas fonético-acústicas incluyen el análisis de la aspiración en oclusivas sordas y de duración y cualidad vocálicas, así como la computación de errores de pronunciación. Las medidas de percepción del acento extranjero fueron proporcionadas por un grupo de oyentes nativos (n=20) y otro grupo de oyentes no nativos (n=37). Los resultados no arrojan mejoras tras la ES en las medidas de producción vocálica y de aspiración, a la vez que indican una ligera mejora en cuanto a la producción de acento extranjero y un descenso significativo en el número de errores de pronunciación. Se hallaron asimismo correlaciones altas entre las medidas fonético-acústicas y las de percepción del acento extranjero.
