有充分的证据表明，母语和非母语的听者在发音含糊之后，会利用词汇知识重新调整他们的母语语音类别。本研究考察了非母语歧义音是否能够重新调整非母语语音范畴。在短暂地听到一个模棱两可的英国英语[L/]音后，荷兰听众表现出了回调。然而，这种重调是不对称的：非母语听者似乎表现出(更多)对//类别的重调，而不是/L/类别，这表明非母语听者可以重调非母语语音类别。这种不对称性被认为与荷兰语和英语中/r/的语音差异很大有关。
There is ample evidence that native and non-native listeners use lexical knowledge to retune their native phonetic categories following ambiguous pronunciations. The present study investigates whether a non-native ambiguous sound can retune non-native phonetic categories. After a brief exposure to an ambiguous British English [l/] sound, Dutch listeners demonstrated retuning. This retuning was, however, asymmetrical: the non-native listeners seemed to show (more) retuning of the // category than of the /l/ category, suggesting that non-native listeners can retune non-native phonetic categories. This asymmetry is argued to be related to the large phonetic variability of /r/ in both Dutch and English.
