the mind, pronunciation) Vocabulary

Perceptual Assimilation Model
. Easy: where the L2 has segments that are contrastive and new to you, then you can
learn them from scratch (your L1 filter will not interfere)
. Easy: when two sounds contrast in your L1 and L2
. Hard: when two segments are allophones of the same phoneme, and are not
contrastive in your L2 BUT they are different phonemes and are contrastive in your
L1
L2 Phonology is a challenge!
. Babies learn L1 phoneme categories by 12 months
. Adult L2 learners perceive L2 phonemes through their experience of L1
. We have expectations about what people look like based on how they sound
. We have expectations about how people sounds based on what they look like
. What we hear is shaped by our expectations (face, clothing, experience, mood,
attitudes)
