Title : PERCEPTION OF L2 ENGLISH AFFRICATE ONSETS IN NATIVEMANDARIN LISTENERS

Author : Ms. Glory Victoria, Ms T Sunitha, Ms Sajeeda Begum

Abstract :

This article presents the results of an experiment that tested the ability of native Mandarin speakers to distinguish between the /t/ and /t/ affricate onset contrasts in two vowel contexts (/I/ and /u/) in English. Specifically for the lengthy voice of onset (VOT) contrast, /t/-/t/, the results imply that vowel quality increases discriminating accuracy, and that /u/ generates a challenging situation for Mandarin listeners. Rich information regarding online processing throughout the identification method was revealed by mouse-tracking data, and various metrics demonstrated a substantial influence of vowel context, which was in accordance with the findings from the discriminating challenge. VOT may have a more subtle function than vowel context, as shown by the fact that it was not observed to influence cursor movements during identification, in contrast to the findings of discriminating.
