Abstract:

This volume investigates to what extent second language learners of
English anticipate the end of a speaker’s turn during turn-taking and
what role prosodic cues play in this process. Drawing on two
reaction-time experiments that partially replicate earlier turn-taking
studies, it compares native speakers with learners of English at
different PT-defined developmental stages. In particular, it examines
whether beginning and advanced learners rely on prosodic cues in ways
comparable to native speakers across different English question types.
The findings show that prosody facilitates turn-end prediction in L2
learners, but that its contribution varies by question type and
developmental proficiency. By integrating turn-taking research with
Processability Theory, the volume advances current debates on
predictive comprehension, prosody, and interaction in SLA. It will be
of interest to scholars and graduate students in second language
acquisition, psycholinguistics, discourse and interaction, and speech
prosody.
