Perception-based vowel insertion by native Spanish-speaking learners of English

A hypothesis is proposed which claims that vowel prosthesis before word-initial [sC] clusters by L1 Spanish learners of English is a perception-based repair phenomenon conditioned by L1 biases for native patterns of intergestural timing in complex onsets. Data from a series of off-line perception te...

Nous présentons une hypothèse qui propose que l’épenthèse de la voyelle [e] devant la suite de consonnes [sC] en début de mot, observée chez les hispanophones lorsqu’ils parlent anglais, est un phénomène de perception qui provient d’une préférence pour certaines relations de coordination spatio-temporelle dans les attaques complexes. Les résultats d’une série d’épreuves de perception indiquent que les hispanophones perçoivent un [e] dans tous les stimuli qui contiennent la suite inadmissible de consonnes [sC] en début de mot. Les résultats d’autres épreuves de discrimination et d’identification corroborent l’idée que l’interprétation erronée des suites de consonnes est liée à la codification cognitive des relations spatio-temporelles systématiques qui proviennent de l’espagnol. Les résultats de cette étude sont intéressants parce qu’ils nous renseignent sur l’acquisition des relations spatio-temporelles dans la première langue, et sur la manière dont ces relations altèrent l’acquisition de la phonologie d’une deuxième langue.
