| Abstract: | Models of second language speech (L2) base their predictions about perception and production of L2 sounds on the degree of similarity between native and non-native sounds. This study presents the results of a cross-linguistic perception experiment involving English and Catalan vowels. A group of English-speaking listeners performed a rated dissimilarity task in which they had to indicate the perceived similarity between two vowel sounds. Stimuli consisted of English-English and Catalan- English vowel pairs. The results showed that some Catalan-English pairs obtained dissimilarity ratings that were comparable to same-category English-English pairs, while other pairs had ratings that fell between same- category and different category English-English pairs. The results will be discussed in terms of their consequences for L2 categorization and in light of previous findings involving Catalan listeners. |
