Automatic Imitation or Poor First-Language Inhibition? Why Foreign-Accentedness Increases during Interpreting

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Interpreters often listen to their native language (L1) and immediately speak in their second language (L2). In a pilot experiment with twenty-two Czech students of interpreting from and into English, we showed that the Voice Onset Time (VOT) of their English /t/s gradually became more Czech-like (i.e., shorter) only when they responded in English to Czech auditory prompts and not when they responded in English to English prompts or when they spoke without hearing any prompts. We propose a methodology that will test what contributes to this effect: (i) impoverished inhibition of the L1 phonological system (they reduced the VOT of L2-English /t/ because their L1-Czech /t/ category was not effectively inhibited immediately after hearing Czech speech), or(ii) automatic imitation of pronunciation properties of recently heard speech (they reduced VOT of /t/ because the recently heard [t] tokens, whatever the language, had had short VOTs).
