Orthographic depth and its impact on universal predictors of reading: a cross-language investigation
2010
Alphabetic orthographies differ in the transparency of their letter-sound mappings, with English orthography being less transparent than other alphabetic scripts. The outlier status of English has led scientists to question the generality of findings based on English-language studies. We investigated the role of phonological awareness, memory, vocabulary, rapid naming, and nonverbal intelligence in reading performance across five languages lying at differing positions along a transparency continuum (Finnish, Hungarian, Dutch, Portuguese, and French). Results from a sample of 1,265 children in Grade 2 showed that phonological awareness was the main factor associated with reading performance…
Sequential Effects of Phonological Priming in Visual Word Recognition
2005
International audience; Two masked priming experiments were conducted to examine phonological priming of bisyllabic words in French, and in particular, whether it operates sequentially or in parallel. Bisyllabic target words were primed by pseudowords that shared either the first or the second phonological syllable of the target. Overlap of the first syllable only-not the second-produced facilitation in both the lexical decision and the naming tasks. These findings suggest that, for polysyllabic words, phonological codes are computed sequentially during silent reading and reading aloud.
Koriģējoši attīstošā darbība sākumskolas skolēniem ar fonētiski fonemātiskiem traucējumiem
2015
Diplomdarbu „Koriģējoši attīstošā darbība sākumskolas skolēniem ar fonētiski fonemātiskiem traucējumiem” izstrādāja studiju programmas skolotājs – logopēds studente Ieva Liepiņa. Pētījuma mērķis bija noskaidrot, kā koriģējoši attīstošā darbība ietekmē fonētiski fonemātiskos traucējumus sākumskolas skolēniem. Tika izvirzīta hipotēze, ka koriģējoši attīstošā darbība sekmē fonētiski fonemātisko traucējumu novēršanu, ja ievēro skolēnu individuālās vecumposma likumsakarības un koriģējoši attīstošā darbība balstās uz noteiktām fonemātiskās uztveres traucējumu novēršanas metodēm. Pamatojoties uz teorētiskajām atziņām, diplomdarba autore izprot, ka fonētiski fonemātiskie traucējumi negatīvi ietekmē…
Readings in English Phonetics and Phonology
2013
La enseñanza de la fonética y la fonología del inglés británico a estudiantes universitarios a menudo se basa en una presentación básica y sin crítica de hechos, como se suelen representar en publicaciones clásicas como la de Gimson-Cruttenden, Collins & Mees, Roach, Car, etc. A pesar de que éstos presentan una agradable visión canónica del idioma, existe el peligro de que los estudiantes acaben poseyendo una opinión casi dogmática de la fonología del inglés, con poco conocimiento de otras visiones y perspectivas. En un intento de superar esta limitación, los colaboradores en este volumen han tratado de combinar la teoría con la práctica a la hora de abordar diferentes aspectos de la fonolo…
Remarks on verbo-tonal phonetics for a communicative context
2018
El objetivo de este artículo es presentar algunas técnicas de corrección fonética a los profesores de lengua extranjera, especialmente a aquellos que trabajan en un contexto comunicativo (Arnold et al. 2005) y no están familiarizados con la clase de pronunciación. El artículo se divide en dos partes: en primer lugar, presentaremos las contribuciones más generales del Método verbo-tonal (Asp 2006; Berré (ed.), 2005; Billières, 2002, 2014; Calvo and Murillo, 2012; Dalmau et al., 1985; Guberina, 1956, 1961; Guberina and Murillo 2008; Murillo, 2002; Intravaia, 2002; Renard, 1971, 1979, 2010; Renard and van Vlasselaer 1976; Roberge, 2002; etc.); en segundo lugar, propondremos algunas técnicas pa…
Good English Pronunciation Users and Their Pronunciation Learning Strategies
2015
The study investigates pronunciation learning strategies (PLS) deployed by those with good English pronunciation, as well as their beliefs concerning the variables that affect pronunciation competence. In order to collect data for analysis this study surveyed 61 participants who had learned English as a foreign language. They comprised 28 higher education teachers and scholars specialising in English phonetics and phonology, who were defined as good pronunciation users (GPU), and 33 EFL teacher training students, viewed as average pronunciation learners (APL). This cohort responded to a survey on pronunciation learning strategies and expressed their views on several aspects affecting the L2…
Foreign Language Learners’ Pronunciation Learning Beliefs and Strategies
2021
This quantitative research investigates the extent to which adult L2 learners act in line with what they declare to believe in regarding pronunciation learning. In other words, this paper focuses on determining the strength of the relationship between the frequency of use of L2 pronunciation learning strategies (PLS) and the beliefs the individuals hold on selected factors affecting pronunciation acquisition, pronunciation instruction, self-efficacy, pronunciation learning goals and affective factors in pronunciation learning. A group of 116 learners of English as a foreign language who took an English phonetics course responded to the Pronunciation Learning Strategies Inventory (PLSI) and …
Maître de langue, professeur de langue et enseignement de la musique du français (XIXe siècle)
2005
Toute langue est si liée à sa musique qu’il faut logiquement envisager la recherche du maître de musique de langue et l’évolution vers le professorat. Le bon maître de langue devait être un artiste de qualité : les approches musicales plus ou moins feutrées fusent au XVIIIe et perdurent au XIXe. Les domaines de la Langue et de la Musique se croisent, se rejoignent. Des portraits de maîtres et maîtresses de musique du français s’esquissent. Cependant, l’exclusion de ce courant artistico-musical du processus d’institutionnalisation, l’application d’une phonétique plus instrumentale que musicale, affective et humaine ont déterminé le sort de l’enseignement des musiques de langue, fondé sur la …
La perception phonémique en français des apprenants polonophones (le cas des voyelles antérieures de moyenne aperture : [e][ɛ])
2017
The perception of sounds of a foreign tongue influences the quality of comprehension and speaking in the language, as well as learning how to read and write properly. The differentiation and identification of sounds enables the development of aural-verbal memory, subsequently associating particular sound patterns with particular meanings. In other words, a developed perception of sounds ensures an efficient communication in a foreign language. Since learners perceive foreign sounds with varied proficiency, the teacher should recognize the difficulties and undertake remedial measures to facilitate learning progress. This article aims to present an educational tool, currently in development, …
Pour une correction phonétique personnalisée en FLE ou de la remédiation "sur mesure"
2017
Herein we would like to rise up a concern of the error correction of pronunciation in French as a Foreign Language. The results of the experimental acoustic analysis (concerning the values of acoustic vowel formants F1 and F2) enabled to precisely specify the difficulties of the experiment’s participants in a field of French vocal system. In relation to the differences of vocal systems of French and Polish language we suggest custom solutions on a didactic level. Based on verbo-tonal method for phonetic integration the error correction activities had been individually elaborated for each participant.
