Abstract
![CDATA[The present study aims to explore how phonological, morphological and prosodic features of an utterance affect perception of English codas by Mandarin listeners. A phoneme detection task was conducted with the word-final target phoneme /s/ appearing utterance-medially or finally in various phonological (consonant cluster vs. singleton) and morphological (plural morpheme vs. coda of a stem word) contexts. The results indicate that the patterns of second language (L2) perception of /s/ are influenced by the utterance position and phonological complexity of the coda and cannot be explained exclusively by presence or absence of plurality in Mandarin.]]
