We provide an exhaustive review of studies in the relatively new domain of research on the
influence of orthography on second language (L2) phonological acquisition. While language …

This chapter reviews evidence that the orthographic forms (spellings) of second language
(L2) sounds and words affect L2 phonological representation and processing. It argues the …

Italian L1 speakers of English L2 produce the same English sound as longer if spelled with
two than with one letter, following Italian grapheme-phoneme conversion rules. Do Italian …

Recent studies have provided evidence for both a positive and a negative effect of

This article provides a review of previous studies that have examined the effects of
orthography on establishing contrastive phonological representations in second language …

Adult learners acquire second language (L2) allophones with experience. We examine two
mechanisms which may support the acquisition of allophonic variants in second language …

This dissertation explores two learning problems in L2 phonology:(1) acquiring a new L2
distribution when both sounds exist in the L1 as allophones;(2) acquiring the same L2 …
