In this paper we demonstrate how phonological process analysis, an approach typically used in child speech, can be used to characterize adult TL phonological learning.
Method: Sentences produced by two adult Japanese English language learners (ELLs) were transcribed and coded for phoneme accuracy, and analyzed according to the percent occurrence of phonological processes. The results were interpreted relative to a contrastive analysis between Japanese and English phonetic inventories, and developmental norms for monolingual English children.
Results and Implications: In this pilot study, common consonant processes included vocalization, final consonant devoicing and cluster reduction. These are processes commonly observed in the speech of typically developing children. The process analysis can inform clinical approaches to pronunciation training in adult ELLs. For example, the Cycles Approach (Hodson & Padden, 1981) may provide more clinical efficacy than an articulatory approach, where phonemes are targeted individually. Additionally, process analysis can enable clinicians to examine the principles of within-class and across-class generalization in adult pronunciation instruction.
