与重音计时英语相比，重音计时日语的特点是音节结构简单，没有元音减少。这种差异可以解释日本人在产生英语语音节奏方面存在的一些问题，即，母语对二语节奏产生的影响。本研究测试了L1对L2的影响是否可以通过增加L2经验来调节。我们研究了日本人（“有经验的”和“没有经验的”英语学习者）和澳大利亚英语母语者所说的英语句子。辅音和元音间隔的平均持续时间和变异性使用节奏度量计算。结果表明，在第二语言中，尤其是没有经验的第二语言，音素间隔的平均持续时间相对较长。此外，没有经验的L2说话者表现出最少的元音持续时间的变化，与英语说话者有最多的，有经验的L2说话者的值是中间。元音和辅音持续时间的变异系数很好地描述了说话者组之间的差异，更具体地说，随着音素持续时间变短，持续时间的变异性增加。总体而言，结果表明，L1对L2语音节奏产生的影响作为L2经验的函数而降低。
Compared to stress-timed English, mora-timed Japanese is characterized by a simpler syllabic structure and no vowel reduction. Such differences may explain some aspects of the problems that Japanese talkers have in producing English speech rhythm, i.e., an L1 influence on L2 rhythm production. The present study tested whether this L1 influence on L2 could be moderated by an increase in L2 experience. We examined English sentences spoken by Japanese (‘experienced’ and ‘inexperienced’ English learners) and native Australian English talkers. The mean duration and variability of consonant and vowel intervals were calculated using rhythm metrics. The results showed that the mean duration of phoneme intervals was relatively longer in L2 speech, particularly the inexperienced L2, compared to L1 speech. Furthermore, the inexperienced L2 talkers exhibited the least vowel durational variability, with the English talkers having the most; the values of the experienced L2 talkers were intermediate. Differences among the talker groups were well described by the coefficient of variations of vowel and consonant durations, more specifically, durational variability increased as the phoneme duration got shorter. Overall, the results demonstrated that an L1 influence on L2 speech rhythm production decreases as a function of L2 experience.
