Abstract:

Inspired by Murray Munro and Tracey Derwing’s 1995 seminal study of
intelligibility, comprehensibility, and accentedness, this book revisits the
insights of their original research and presents subsequent studies extending
this work to new ways of understanding second language speech. By rejecting
the nativeness approach upon which previous pronunciation research and
teaching were built, Munro and Derwing’s paper became the catalyst for a new
paradigm of pronunciation and speech research and teaching. For the first
time, pronunciation researchers had an empirically-motivated set of dimensions
for assessing L2 speech. Results of many subsequent studies showed that the
original insights of three partially-independent measures are indispensable to
language teaching, language assessment, social evaluations of speech, and
pedagogical priorities. This monograph offers 9 diverse chapters by leading
researchers, all of which focus on intelligibility and or comprehensibility.
This volume is essential reading for anyone interested in up-to-date coverage
of L2 pronunciation matters. Originally published as special issue of "Journal
of Second Language Pronunciation" 6:3 (2020)
