More vowels are not always better : Australian English and Peruvian Spanish learners' comparable perception of Dutch vowels

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperConference Paperpeer-review

Abstract

![CDATA[Second-language (L2) learners frequently struggle with the perception of L2 sounds not present in their native language (Escudero; 2005, Escudero & Boersma, 2004; Fliege et al., 1997; Fox et al., 1995; Morrison, 2009). Vowels are especially difficult to master, presumably due to the continuous dimensions by which vowels can differ across languages (eg. Beddor & Strange, 1982; Polka & Bohn, 1996).]]
