掌握第二语言（L2）的发音被认为是极其困难的，很少有人在成年后学习第二语言时能成功地听起来像母语人士（Bongaerts, Van Summeren, Planken, & Schils, 1997; Scovel, 2000）。成功的二语发音不仅包括学习如何真实地发出目标语言的所有单个声音，还包括掌握二语独特的韵律，如语调、重音、节奏、语调和速度。从第一语言（L1）迁移被认为是特别持久的韵律；第一语言的韵律影响即使在经历了多年的第二语言之后仍然存在（Mennen, 2004; Pickering, 2004）。研究表明，第二语言中的非目标韵律在外语口音感知和母语听者可理解性判断中起着重要而独立的作用（Jilka, 2000; Magen, 1998; Munro, 1995; Trofimovich & Baker, 2007）。一些研究甚至表明，在这种认知中，韵律比音段更重要。撰写这期特刊的想法源于班戈大学举办的第二语言韵律研讨会，该研讨会由第一作者组织。我们要感谢该讲习班的所有与会者对这一想法的热情。我们衷心感谢所有作者对本期的杰出贡献，感谢SSLA编辑团队为本期的完成提供的所有帮助。我们特别感谢艺术与人文研究委员会为第一作者提供了时间，通过奖学金（AH/J000302/1）帮助撰写本期特刊。
Mastering the pronunciation of a second language (L2) is considered extremely difficult, and few individuals succeed in sounding like a native speaker when learning a L2 in adulthood (Bongaerts, Van Summeren, Planken, & Schils, 1997; Scovel, 2000). Successful L2 pronunciation involves not only learning how to authentically produce all the individual sounds of the target language but also the acquisition of the L2’s unique prosody, such as its intonation, stress, rhythm, tone, and tempo. Transfer from the first language (L1) is thought to be particularly persistent in prosody; L1 prosodic influences can remain present even after years of experience with the L2 (Mennen, 2004; Pickering, 2004). Research suggests that nontargetlike prosody in a L2 plays an important and independent role in the perception of foreign accentedness and in native-listener judgments of comprehensibility (Jilka, 2000; Magen, 1998; Munro, 1995; Trofimovich & Baker, 2007). Some research even suggests that prosody is more important than segments in such perceptionsThe idea of putting together this special issue originated during a workshop on L2 prosody at Bangor University organized by the first author. We would like to thank all participants of that workshop for the enthusiasm with which this idea was received. We wish to express our sincere thanks to all of the authors for their excellent contributions to this issue and to the SSLA editorial team for all their help in bringing this issue to completion. We extend a particular thank-you to the Arts and Humanities Research Council for providing the first author with the time to help shape this special issue through a fellowship (AH/J000302/1).
