Native language background significantly impacts speech intelligibility. Non-native listeners benefit from hearing speakers with similar native language backgrounds, a phenomenon known as the matched interlanguage speech intelligibility benefit.

Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Second Language Acquisition
  • Speech Perception

Background:

  • Native language background influences speech intelligibility.
  • Understanding non-native speech perception is crucial for effective communication.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate how native language background affects non-native speech intelligibility.
  • To examine the role of shared and different native language backgrounds between talkers and listeners.

Main Methods:

  • Recordings of native Chinese, Korean, and English talkers reading English sentences.
  • Sentence recognition task administered to native English, Chinese, Korean, and mixed-background listeners.

Main Results:

  • Native English listeners found the native English talker most intelligible.

  • Non-native listeners showed similar intelligibility for high-proficiency, same-background non-native talkers and native talkers (matched interlanguage speech intelligibility benefit).
  • This benefit extended to different language backgrounds (mismatched interlanguage speech intelligibility benefit).

    • Conclusions:

    • Native language background plays a significant role in speech intelligibility.
    • The interlanguage speech intelligibility benefit highlights the importance of shared linguistic experience.
    • Findings contribute to understanding talker-listener interactions in cross-linguistic communication.
