“…As mentioned above, most of the work done in field of L3 acquisition largely concentrates on the learning of the syntactic and morphosyntactic properties of the target language. As pointed out by Cabrelli Amaro (2012), L3 phonology can be considered an understudied issue, despite some outstanding work by scholars like Marx & Mehlhorn (2010), Gut (2010) or Llama et al (2010), who looked at the production of stops in L3 Spanish.…”

Abstract. This study addresses the production of Voice Onset Time (VOT) in French as a foreign language (FFL). The learners are young multilingual learners who speak Mandarin Chinese as a heritage language along with German. To determine potential effects of the learners' multilingual background, these multilingual learners were compared to three control groups: (1) monolingual German learners of FFL, (2) monolingual Mandarin Chinese learners of FFL, and (3) native speakers of French (L1). In addition, a perception experiment was carried out to find out to what extent the VOT values measured in the production data contribute to the perception of foreign accent. Our results show that multilingual learners perform similar to monolingual learners, suggesting that multilingual learners are neither advantaged nor disadvantaged when acquiring the phonology of a foreign language. Furthermore, the learners' perceived accent in the perception data study mirrors the results from the production study.

“…Comparing with the setting of our experiment with those of previous studies (Tremblay 2007, Wrembel 2009, Llama et al 2010, Wunder 2010, differences in three main factors can be found as in Table 2. These factors have been touched on in 2.3.…”

“…11 In previous studies, the proficiency in the source language tends to be quite advanced. For example, Llama et al (2010) report that their participants had a high command of their L2. However, little attention has been paid to source language with lower proficiency.…”

“…A small number of phonological studies such as Tremblay (2007), Wrembel (2009), Llama et al (2010), and Wunder (2010) have investigated patterns and influential factors of sound acquisition of multiple L2s. Their results indicate that one L2 (acquired earlier) has an impact on the acquisition of another L2 (acquired later).…”

“…She claims that L3 was affected by L2 rather than L1. Llama et al (2010) investigated the phonetic influence of typological distance and L2 "privileged status." Their participants were two groups of L3 Spanish learners: those who spoke English as L1 and French as L2; and those who did the opposite.…”
