The present study investigated how well Japanese learners of English (JE) can differentiate stressed and unstressed syllables in English, by analyzing ten word pairs and five word triplets that exhibit stress shift, e.g., compúter-còmputátion , produced by high-proficiency (JEH) and mid-proficiency (JEM) learners and native American English speakers (AE). Results were as follows. First, JEH and JEM frequently produced devoiced vowels in unstressed syllables, e.g., còmp[jʊ̥]tátion , approximately in the same phonetic environments where vowels are devoiced in Japanese. Second, vowel duration and first-formant frequencies of primary-stressed, secondary-stressed, and unstressed syllables differed significantly across AE, JEH, and JEM. In particular, the acoustic differences between secondary-stressed and unstressed syllables were smaller for JE than for AE, but those between primary-and secondary-stressed syllables were larger for JE than for AE. Altogether, JE diverge from AE in their phonetic realization of English stress, showing native-language influences and difficulties with more than two stress levels.
