Imitation interacts with one's second-language phonology but it does not operate cross-linguistically
Original language description
This study explored effects of simultaneous use of late bilinguals? languages on their second-language (L2) pronunciation. We tested (1) if bilinguals effectively inhibit the first language (L1) when simultaneously processing L1 and L2, (2) if bilinguals, like natives, imitate subphonemic variation, (3) if bilinguals? imitation operates crosslinguistically, and (4) if imitation interacts with phonological structure. Sixteen L1-Czech L2-English speakers heard stimuli with two factors manipulated: language (Czech, English) and Voice Onset Time (VOT) in /p, t, k/ (short, long). They subsequently pronounced English /t/- and /d/-initial words. Speakers? VOTs in the Czech-Short-VOT, Czech-Extended-VOT, and English-Reduced-VOT conditions were comparable, butVOTs were more English-like after exposure to English-Long-VOT, which applied to both /t/ and /d/. The conclusions are as follows. (1) Bilinguals? potentially ineffective L1 inhibition did not affect their L2 production, since exposure to
