Abstract:

Second language acquisition has grown rapidly as a field over the past few
decades, seeking to contribute not only to our understanding of how non-native
languages are learned and may be better taught, but also to the modeling of
human language and cognition. Drawing on research from applied linguistics,
linguistics, psychology and the speech sciences, this textbook focuses
particularly on second language speech – how individuals perceive and produce
the sounds of their second language. Following an in-depth overview of the
major research themes, theories, and experimental methodologies, the book
provides extensive discussion of the acquisition of vowels, consonants, and
prosody. Each chapter includes illustrative case studies, review questions,
and a tutorial section with practical exercises using English and Romance
language data from the University of Toronto Romance Phonetics Database. The
book also has a companion website, which contains further resources including
scripts for conducting research with the Praat software.
