The goal of this Special Issue is to bring together current state-of-the-art
research examining the effects of additional language or language variety
acquisition and use on native language (i.e., first-acquired language) speech
perception, including but not limited to the identification of native sound
categories, discrimination of native contrasts, and cue weighting in the
perception of native sound distinctions.

Previous research has provided a solid body of work on the effects of second
language (L2) learning and multilingualism on first language (L1) speech
production (Chang 2012, Colantoni et al. 2020, Cook 2003, de Leeuw and Celata
2019, de Leeuw et al. 2010, de Leeuw et al. 2013, Flege 1987, Harada 2003,
Kartushina and Martin 2019, Kartushina et al. 2016, Law et al. 2019, Mayr et
al. 2021, Mennen 2004, Nodari et al. 2019, Sancier 1997, and Schmid et al.
2004, among others). The results have indicated that bi-/multilinguals’ native
sound production often differs from monolingual norms, frequently
demonstrating partial convergence with, and at times divergence from, the
comparable sound categories in the additional language(s) spoken by the
individuals. These effects have been found for early and late bilinguals,
advanced and novice learners, and immersed and home-country-based learners. In
this issue, we focus on equivalent effects, but in the perceptual domain.

Initial evidence suggests that multilingual listeners exhibit
language-specific patterns in perception, or “language modes” (Antoniou et al.
2012, Gonzales and Lotto 2013, Grosjean 2001). Moreover, first language speech
perception can diverge from the monolingual norms due to the effects of
additional languages (Chang 2016, Celata and Cancila 2010, Dmitrieva et al.
2020, Dmitrieva 2019, Garcia-Sierra et al. 2009, Law et al. 2019, Llanos et
al. 2013). Nevertheless, much remains to be learned about native speech
perception in the context of multilingualism, including the following
questions:

Who is likely to exhibit second/additional language effects on native speech
perception?

In what context/conditions of language acquisition are such effects more
likely to arise?

What perceptual domains or perceptual tasks tend to reveal interference from
additional languages or language varieties?

How do changes in L1 perception and production, driven by the acquisition
and/or use of additional languages, connect and interact with each other?

What theoretical and cognitive models can explain L2 effects on L1 perception?

We welcome contributions exploring these and other questions relating to first
language speech perception using a variety of methodologies and in a variety
of multilingual populations, including bi-/multilingual children and adults,
adult language learners in immersed and in classroom settings, heritage
speakers, bidialectal speakers, and others. We especially encourage
submissions examining under-researched languages and dialects and their
combinations.

We request that, prior to submitting a manuscript, interested authors
initially submit a preliminary title and an abstract of 400–600 words
summarizing their intended contribution. Please send this to the corresponding
guest editor (Olga Dmitrieva, odmitriepurdue.edu) and to the Languages
editorial office (languagesmdpi.com). Abstracts will be reviewed by the guest
editors for the purposes of ensuring proper fit within the scope of the
Special Issue. Full manuscripts will undergo double-blind peer-review.

The tentative completion schedule:

Abstract submission deadline: 15 October 2021
Notification of abstract acceptance: 15 November 2021
Full manuscript deadline: 15 May 2022
