Second language acquisition has rapidly grown as a field over the
past decade, as our knowledge of the ways in which children and
adults learn and use a second language has become crucial for
effective language teaching. In addition to this important
'applied' function, research into second language acquisition has
also informed the fields of linguistics and psychology in general,
as it has shed light on the differences between native and
non-native models of human language and cognition. The focus of
this accessible new book is second language speech - that is, how
speakers perceive, process, understand and pronounce the sounds of
a second language. Each chapter includes review questions, and most
chapters include 'tutorial' and 'lab' sections with practical
exercises based on the University of Toronto Romance Phonetics
Database (available online for free). The book also has a companion
website, containing illustrated answers to the exercises, scripts
for running acoustic analyses and useful weblinks.
