Language familiarity impacts speech fluency under delayed auditory feedback (DAF). Multilinguals experience more disruptions in less familiar languages, with no clear gender differences observed.

Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Speech Science
  • Psychology

Background:

  • The language familiarity hypothesis suggests bilinguals exhibit different speech patterns under delayed auditory feedback (DAF) based on language proficiency.
  • Mackay's (1970) research laid the groundwork for understanding how language familiarity influences speech under DAF.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the language familiarity hypothesis concerning speech disruptions under DAF in multilingual speakers.
  • To examine potential gender differences in susceptibility to DAF effects.

Main Methods:

  • Thirty Dutch native speakers, proficient in French and English, read meaningful and nonsense texts under DAF.
  • Speech data collected included reading time and number of speech disruptions across three languages.

  • Participants' fluency was assessed in their mother tongue and two acquired languages.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant language familiarity effect was confirmed: more speech disruptions and longer reading times occurred in less familiar languages.
    • Nonsense texts resulted in significantly more disruptions and longer reading times than meaningful texts across all languages.
    • No clear gender differences were found in susceptibility to DAF.

    Conclusions:

    • Language familiarity significantly influences speech fluency under DAF, with native languages showing greater stability.
    • The type of text (meaningful vs. nonsense) also impacts speech disruption under DAF.
    • Gender does not appear to be a significant factor in DAF susceptibility for normally fluent multilingual speakers.
