Phonetic Learning Through Exposure to Dialectic al Variants of English

 

The literature on phonetic le arning for speech has shown that listeners are quite flexible in their p erception of speech sounds. Specifically, research has shown that the bo undaries separating similar speech sounds can be altered for a particula r listener through repeated exposure to manipulated speech tokens. This particular form of learning is often cited as supporting listeners’ abil ities to understand unfamiliar accents and to learn new phonetic invento ries in the process of learning a second language. In this talk, I will discuss work examining whether the information supporting phonetic learn ing for speech is actually available in naturally produced speech and wh ether this information may support learning more effectively than manipu lated tokens.
