Abstract:

Including contributions from a team of world-renowned international scholars,
this volume is a state-of-the-art survey of second language speech research,
showcasing new empirical studies alongside critical reviews of existing
influential speech learning models. It presents a revised version of Flege's
Speech Learning Model (SLM-r) for the first time, an update on a cornerstone
of second language research. Chapters are grouped into five thematic areas:
theoretical progress, segmental acquisition, acquiring suprasegmental
features, accentedness and acoustic features, and cognitive and psychological
variables. Every chapter provides new empirical evidence, offering new
insights as well as challenges on aspects of the second language speech
acquisition process. Comprehensive in its coverage, this book summarises the
state of current research in second language phonology, and aims to shape and
inspire future research in the field. It is an essential resource for academic
researchers and students of second language acquisition, applied linguistics
and phonetics and phonology.

consonants and lexical tones Irina. A. Shport; 18. Auditory priming effects on
