On the Acquisition of Second Language Timing Patterns.

Fourakis, Marios; Iverson, Gregory K.

Language Learning, v35 n3 p431-42 Sep 1985

Presents the results of an experiment which examined the temporal characteristics of voiceless plosives in American English, Arabic, and Arabic-accented English. Results showed that Arabic-accented English departed from the target language goal and constituted an articulation type characterizable as more Arabic than Arabic itself. (Author/SED)
