“…The theoretical and pedagogical significance of implicit learning in SLA has stimulated recent research interests (e.g. Leung & Williams, 2011;Robinson, 1996Robinson, , 2005Saffran, 2001;Saffran et al, 2008;Rebuschat & Williams, 2011). In the realm of L2 phonology, it has been shown that phonotactics (Dell, Reed, Adams, & Meyer, 2000;Onishi, Chambers, & Fisher, 2002;Warker & Dell, 2006), segmental features (Goldrick, 2004) and metrical stress rules (Gerken, 2004;Gerken & Bollt, 2008) may be learnt implicitly.…”
