Yet Another Look at Interlanguage Phonology: The Modification of English Syllable Structure by Native Speakers of Polish

Abstract: Tarone (1980) attempted to show that some svllabk structure errors in the interlanguage ( I L ) speech of learners of English from ranous l a n g u a p backgrounds were not attributabk to l a n g u a p transfer and might provide evidence o f a universal tendency to produce open ( C V ) syllabks. a n interlanguage process which she argued opcrates independently of language transfer The case study presented here follows essentially the same method of investigation that Tarone followed to gather evidence for the… Show more

“…The question of whether difficulties with phonotactics are related to transfer from the native language or whether speakers are reverting to universal principles of markedness is a main issue in research on the acquisition of syllable structure by second language learners (e.g., Tarone 1980; Broselow 1984; Eckman 1987; Major 1987; Benson 1988; Hodne 1988; Patkowski 1990; Major 2001). This question pertains to both consonant clusters and to what sounds are allowed in different syllable positions.…”

“…Of those modifications, Tarone could not attribute only 30 (about 22%) to L1 transfer and thus felt these to be examples of a universal preference for the CV syllable. 3 In a similar study, Hodne (1985) collected a corpus of data consisting of 666 syllables from 2 native speakers of Polish, a language which has syllable structures at least as complex as those in English. Hodne found 66 syllable structure errors, and of those claimed only 11 (17%) were nontransferable modifications that resulted in simple open syllables.…”

“…As in first language acquisition, the relationship between Speech production and speech perception in second language acquisition is unclear. Research in second language speech sound acquisition has relied primarily on data derived from speech production and most investigations do not include a perceptual element (Flege, 1980(Flege, , 1981Hodne, 1985;Neufeld, 1978Neufeld, , 1980Oyama, 1976). Two notable exceptions are Goto's (1971) investigation with Japanese-English bilinguals and Sheldon and Stränge's (1982) investigation of native Japanese Speakers learning English in the United States.…”
