Can People Discriminate Languages They Don't Know?
Lorch, Marjorie Perlman; Meara, Paul
Language Sciences, v17 n1 p65-71 Jan 1995
Examines the ability of monolingual English-speaking subjects to judge whether two spoken samples are from the same or different unknown foreign language. Performance of subjects was only a small degree above chance, while at the same time giving reliable information about recognition and identification skills. Further studies are needed.
