| description | This study addresses the questions of whether listening to a bimodal distribution of
vowels improves
adult learners’ categorization of a difficult L2 vowel
contrast and
whether enhancing the acoustic differences between the vowels in the distribution
yields better categorization performance. Spanish learners of Dutch were trained on a
natural bimodal or an enhanced bimodal distribution of the Dutch vowels /ɑ/ and /aː/, with the
average productions of the vowels or more extreme values as the endpoints respectively.
Categorization improved for learners who listened to the enhanced distribution, which
suggests that adults profit from input with properties similar to infant-directed speech. |
