Perceptual attention as the locus of transfer to nonnative speech perception

Abstract:
One’s native language (L1) is known to influence the development of a nonnative language (L2) at multiple levels, but the nature of L1 transfer to L2 perception remains unclear. This study explored the hypothesis that transfer effects in perception come from L1-specific processing strategies, which direct attention to phonetic cues according to their estimated relative functional load (RFL). Using target languages that were either familiar (English) or unfamiliar (Korean), perception of unreleased final stops was tested in L1 English listeners and four groups of L2 English learners whose L1s differ in stop phonotactics and the estimated RFL of a crucial cue to unreleased stops (i.e., vowel-to-consonant formant transitions). Results were, overall, consistent with the hypothesis, with L1 Japanese listeners showing the poorest perception, followed by L1 Mandarin, Russian, English, and Korean listeners. Two exceptions occurred with Russian listeners, who underperformed Mandarin listeners in identification of English stops and outperformed English listeners in identification of Korean stops. Taken together, these findings support a cue-centric view of transfer based on perceptual attention over a direct phonotactic view based on structural conformity. However, transfer interacts with prior L2 knowledge, which may result in significantly different perceptual consequences for a familiar and an unfamiliar L2. ; The author gratefully acknowledges funding from the Center for Advanced Study of Language and logistical assistance from the Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences and Second Language Acquisition Program at the University of Maryland and from the Department of Linguistics at New York University. The paper benefited from the feedback of Taehong Cho, Karthik Durvasula, and several anonymous reviewers, as well as discussions with Nick Fleisher, Slava Gorbachov, Kevin Roon, Geoff Schwartz, and audiences at the CUNY Graduate Center, the University of Cambridge, University College London, MIT, the 7th International Symposium on the Acquisition of Second Language Speech, and the 167th Meeting of the Acoustical Society of America (Chang, 2014).
