概括
西班牙听众在听到英语口音的西班牙语后调整他们的语音感知. 对英语的经验会影响听众如何快速有效地重新校准他们的语音类别,显示适应第二语言口音.
科学领域:
- 心理语言学 心理语言学
- 语音学 语音学 语音学
- 获得第二语言的学习.
背景情况:
- 西班牙语母语者通常会对美国英语口音的西班牙语有不同的看法,特别是在 /b/ 和 /p/ 等辅音中的语音发声时间 (VOT) 方面.
- 了解听众如何适应第二语言 (L2) 发音的语音变化,对于语音感知和语言学习理论至关重要.
研究的目的:
- 调查第一语言 (L1) 西班牙语听众是否在接触美国英语口音的西班牙语后重新校准他们的语音类别边界.
- 检查听众对英语的经验在这个重新校准过程中的作用.
主要方法:
- 参与者听取了含有目标声音的美国英语口音的西班牙语单词.
- 在听力训练之前和之后测量了VOT的声学类别边界.
- 评估了听众对英语的经验,并与边界变化相关联.
主要成果:
- 听众在接触了口音发言后,表现出他们声学类别边界的调整.
- 观察到学习的普遍化,未受过训练的类别也表现出调整.
- 听众对英语的体验与先前存在的,更类似英语的语音界限相关.
结论:
- 对L2口音发音的听觉暴露可以导致L1听众对音声类别的显著重新校准.
- 之前与L2口音扬声器的L1的经验有助于更快,更有效的语音适应.
- 这些发现支持一种声学重新校准机制,以适应L2口音.

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.

Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...
