Peer reviewedBroselow, Ellen; Chen, Su-I; Wang, Chilin – Studies in Second Language Acquisition, 1998
Discusses the simplification of forms ending in obstruents by native speakers of Mandarin, in particular two effects that are not obviously motivated by either the native- or the target-language grammars: a tendency to devoice final voiced obstruents and a tendency to maximize the number of bisyllabic forms in the output.
