Lecture: R-Sandhi: Do learners of EFL shadow native speakers?

As part of a sociophonetics seminar by Prof. Sabine Arndt-Lappe (Uni Trier) an experiment was designed to find out, whether learners of English as a Foreign Language shadow native speakers.

Shadowing experiments are generally used to find out how long it takes for a person to process and produce speech, but they can also be designed to elicit other data. As part of a seminar on sociophonetics by Prof. Sabine Arndt-Lappe (Trier University) an experiment was designed to find out whether learners of English as a Foreign Language shadow native speakers. A remote experiment was conducted by students. Participants were asked to record themselves reading out sentences to establish a baseline. Afterwards participants recorded themselves shadowing audio recordings of a native speaker of British English. Together the recorded data was annotated for realisation of r-sandhi in the baseline recording and the shadowing task. The results of this experiment will be presented in this talk.
