Lloyd, Cailey N. | The Role of Written Input in the Acquisition of a German-Like Pattern of Final Devoicing by Native English Speakers: Evidence from a Listening Task | In German, underlyingly voiced obstruents are devoiced in final position (e.g., the word ‘wheel' /ʁad/ is pronounced [ʁat]). Adult, native English-speaking learners of German are known to experience difficulty acquiring phonological processes such as German final devoicing. It has been hypothes... | | 2020 |

In English, there exists a phonological contrast between voiced and voiceless pronunciations of bilabial, alveolar, and velar stop consonants. These pairs ar... | | 2017 |
