Fronting of the GOOSE vowel in Czech Learners' English
Original language description
This paper explores pronunciation of the English high back vowel /u/ in speech of advanced Czech learners of English as a foreign language. While in standard southern British English, /u/ has undergone fronting, its closest equivalent vowel in Czech, long vowel /uː/ is fully back. F2 measurements of learners’ vowels show that they had learned to produce fronted /u/’s in English despite arguably limited exposure to native interactional input and changeable native speaker models. A comparison of the learners’ productions of /u/ elicited when they spoke only in English with when they used both English and Czech within a single utterance revealed within-category shifts in realization of /u/: When the learners had to switch from Czech to English, their pronunciation of English /u/ was more Czech-like, showing slightly less fronting.
