Speech Rhythms in Second Language Acquisition.
Wenk, B. J.
Language and Speech, v28 n2 p157-75 Apr-Jun 1985
A descriptive model elaborated to account for the rhythmic organization of French and English is applied to the speech of French learners of English to identify the particular type of cross-linguistic influence operating therein. Evidence is presented for the existence of transitional rhythmic groups, perceived in the interlanguage vowel reduction patterns. (Author/SED)
