“…One reason might be most of the problematic words, such as Pacific, Seattle, geography, concern, and idea are all nouns in the reading passage. In English, nouns more likely have stress on the initial syllable while verbs have stress on the ultimate syllable (Kelly & Bock, 1988;Davenport & Hannahs, 2005). In Zhang's study (2010), Mandarin EFL learners also preferred to place stress on the initial syllable.…”

Compared with the study of acquisition of syntax and morphology, there is a relative lack of research on the acquisition of phonology, the L2 acquisition of word stress in particular. This paper investigates the production of word stress by 70 Chinese college students in their reading aloud. Altogether 350 minutes' recordings were collected and coded. The result shows that improper assignment of word stress most likely occurs in two-syllable words and three-syllable words and on the first syllable. The factors which account for these problems are learners' insensitivity to syllabic structure of English words and lack of knowledge of rules on English word stress.

“…Thus, although the feature [voice] of BE is retained faithfully in PakE, but the phonetic realization of this feature in the PakE is L1-like (i.e., with pre-voicing or negative VOT) which is utterly different from that of BE. The following spectrogram of the word "these" produced by a Pakistani speaker illustrates this fact; (Davenport & Hannahs, 2010). The dark variant is produced with back of the tongue whereas the clear lateral is produced with tip of the tongue.…”

“…voiceless stops are produced with aspiration and in unstressed contexts, they are produced as unaspirated stops (Davenport & Hannahs, 2010). The PakE has only voiceless unaspirated stops in all positions.…”

This paper depicts a comprehensive picture of consonants of Pakistani English (PakE). The study shows that PakE speakers neutralize aspiration contrast in English stops. In the PakE, /t/ in /st/ cluster on onset of a word (e.g., steal) is produced with more aspiration than that on syllable-initial position without preceding /s/ (e.g., in "teach"). Besides, /t d/ are produced with strong retroflexion but /t/ in tautosyllabic /st/ clusters on word-initial position is produced without retroflexion. Voiced stops are produced with pre-voicing. Dental fricatives /θ ð/ produced by native speakers of English are perceived as [f z] or [s v] by PakE speakers but they produce these fricatives as stop. PakE speakers can realize a difference between clear and dark lateral of English in perception although they do not maintain the same difference in production as they produce English lateral as a clear lateral on onset and coda of syllables. Coronal fricative /ʒ/ is perceived and produced as approximant /j/ and /v w/ as a labial approximant. In PakE [r] is produced with strong trilling and rhoticity on all word-positions.

“…Following subsection first reports acoustic studies on fricative then states the methodology; and then discusses the acoustic properties of Hindko fricatives. Davenport and Hannahs (2005) claim that fricatives are accompanied by a periodic vibration in the higher frequencies and main resonant frequencies. It rises as the size of the oral cavity decrease.…”

The Hindko language is mainly spoken in the province of Khyber Pukhtunkhaw, Pakistan. It relates to the Indo-Aryan family of languages. This paper focusses on the phonemic and acoustic analysis of Hindko fricatives. The phonemic analysis identifies that Hindko has eight fricatives. The acoustic analysis aims to explore temporal and spectral characteristics of these fricatives. The acoustic analysis discloses that Hindko fricatives are distinguishable on the basis of the temporal properties such as friction duration and spectral cues like turbulence noise.Keywords: Hindko; phonemic; acoustic; temporal properties; spectral cues; friction PovzetekJezik Hindko priprada indo-iranski jezikovni družini in ga govorijo predvsem v pakistanski provinci Khyber Pukhtunkhaw. Ta raziskava se osredotoča na fonemsko in akustično analizo pripornikov Hindka. S fonemskega vidika ima Hindko osem pripornikov, ki so nadalje analizirani z vidika časovnih in spektralnih značilnosti. Akustične analize kažejo, da je mogoče Hindko pripornike razločiti tako glede na njihove časovne značilnosti, kot je na primer trajanje frikcije, ali pa na spektralne značilnosti, kot je na primer turbulentni hrup.
