Bilingual Speech Intelligibility

Speech intelligibility – the accuracy with which a particular speech signal
produced by a particular talker is understood by a particular listener in a
particular communication setting – is notoriously difficult to predict. 
Nevertheless, all else being equal, variation in intelligibility as assessed
by word recognition accuracy is a common distinguishing feature of
first-language (L1) versus second-language (L2) speech production and
perception. Considering that many (perhaps most) conversations in the world
today involve L2 participants, any account of speech intelligibility in
real-world speech communication must address the role of the language
backgrounds of the interlocutors.   

This tutorial will review various strands of research that demonstrate a
complex interplay between the language profiles of interlocutors and its
impact on overall intelligibility.  In addition to providing a coherent
perspective on prior research on bilingual speech intelligibility, this
tutorial aims to provide a map for future research with the ultimate goal of
modeling speech intelligibility by humans and machines in speech communication
situations with various language profiles.  

Throughout this tutorial, I will refer to current methodological and technical
developments in corpus-based phonetics and interactive testing paradigms that
open new windows on the dynamics of speech communication across a language
barrier.
