Synopsis

It has been well documented that the first language (L1) phonetic system influences the second language (L2) phonetic system. However, the influence of the L2 phonetic system upon the L1 phonetic system has not been studied equally well. This book aims at contributing to this less well-studied field by examining the effect of L2 phonetic learning on L1 vowel production among a group of Mandarin-English bilinguals. The study shows that L2 English learning led to some Mandarin-English bilinguals carrying some English characteristics in their L1 Mandarin vowel production. The information in this book will be useful to people who are interested in second language speech learning.
