概括
与单语者相比,双语英语发言者对英语元音的感知能力更强. 这表明双方言的语音类别灵活性更大,支持通用感知模型 (UPM).
科学领域:
- 语言学的语言学.
- 心理语言学 心理语言学
- 获得第二语言的学习.
背景情况:
- 对第二语言 (L2) 语音的感知受到母语 (L1) 语音学的影响.
- 全球感知模型 (UPM) 基于对L1类别的声学和感知相似性来预测L2元音感知.
研究的目的:
- 研究希腊单语言和双方言说话者对英语母音的感知.
- 评估通用感知模型 (UPM) 的预测准确度.
- 为了比较双方言和单语言发言者的L2英语母音区分能力.
主要方法:
- 成年塞浦路斯希腊语 (CG) 双方言说者和标准现代希腊语 (SMG) 英语L2.2单语说者进行了分类和歧视测试.
- 参与者根据语言,社会语言和认知因素进行了匹配.
- 贝叶斯回归模型被用于数据分析,以英语为母语的人作为对照.
主要成果:
- 感知相似性,而不是单独的声学相似性,在很大程度上预测了英语母音对比的歧视,支持UPM假设.
- 与单语说话者相比,双语说话者在区分L2英语元音对比方面表现出更好的表现.
- 声学相似性部分预测了歧视,但感知相似性是一个更强的预测因素.
结论:
- 全球感知模型 (UPM) 有效地解释了L2元音感知,特别强调了感知相似性的作用.
- 双向口音说话者表现出增强的L2语音区分,可能是由于更具适应性的语音类别结构.
- 接触多样化的语言输入可能会促进双方言个体更大的感知灵活性.

Language and Cognition
342
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Lateralization
319
Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.
