Assessing Non-native Speakers ’ Production of French Nasal Vowels: a Multitask Corpus-based Study

TL;DRAbstract

This article presents a multitask corpus-based study on the production of French nasal vowels by Japanese and Spanish learners of French.In the past, few studies have investigated the production of French nasal vowels by non-native speakers, and none -to our knowledge -have used a multitask corpus such as the one currently being built in the IPFC project (InterPhonology of Contemporary French).In this paper, non-native productions have been perceptually and acoustically assessed, and the results are discussed in light of the psycholinguistically distinct processes involved in the different tasks.
