本文报告了以阿拉伯语为母语的人习得英语 /p/–/b/ 对比的结果。这种对比在参与者的母语（NL）中并不存在。这项研究的主要发现是，一些研究参与者在他们的中介语作品中表现出了这些片段之间的隐性对比。也就是说，被转录为 [p] 和 [b] 之间没有对比的五名阿拉伯语参与者中的两名实际上在两个目标片段之间的语音开始时间滞后方面产生了统计上可靠的区别。考虑到语音习得的渐进性质，二语语音学学习中存在这种隐蔽对比的中间阶段是非常合理的。我们的结果有助于使第二语言对比的学习与母语习得和语音紊乱语音领域的相同现象的发现相一致。
This paper reports results on the acquisition of the English /p/–/b/ contrast by native speakers of Arabic. This contrast does not exist in the participants’ native language (NL). The central finding of this study is that some of the research participants exhibited a covert contrast between these segments in their interlanguage productions. That is, two of the five Arabic-speaking participants who were transcribed as having no contrast between [p] and [b] did, in fact, produce a statistically reliable distinction in voice onset time lags between the two target segments. The existence of such an intermediate stage of covert contrast in the learning of L2 phonology is eminently plausible, in view of the progressive nature of phonological acquisition. Our results help bring the learning of second-language contrasts into conformity with findings of the same phenomenon in the areas of L1 acquisition and phonologically disordered speech.
