本研究考察了以意大利语为母语的英语辅音的产生。240名母语为意大利语的成年人在2岁至23岁之间移民到加拿大时开始学习英语。英语塞音和摩擦音的词首、词中和词末标记通过以英语为母语的听众的被迫选择判断进行了评估，并进行了声学分析。意大利本土受试者的学习（AOL）英语的年龄对他们的英语辅音的产生产生了系统的影响，即使他们在加拿大生活了平均32年，并报告说英语比意大利语多。在所有情况下，但两个实例中，一个或多个本地意大利亚组定义的基础上AOL显着不同的受试者在本地英语（NE）的控制组。第一个本土意大利语亚组的AOL不同于NE科目的辅音和音节位置的变化。结果进行了讨论，在文献中提出的假设有关的基础上，在L2语音生产的分段错误。
This study examined the production of English consonants by native speakers of Italian. The 240 adult native Italian speakers of English who participated had begun learning English when they emigrated to Canada between the ages of 2 and 23 years. Word-initial, word-medial and word-final tokens of English stops and fricatives were assessed through forced-choice judgments made by native English-speaking listeners, and acoustically. The native Italian subjects' ages of learning (AOL) English exerted a systematic effect on their production of English consonants even though they had lived in Canada for an average of 32 years, and reported speaking English more than Italian. In all but two instances, one or more native Italian subgroup defined on the basis of AOL differed significantly from subjects in a native English (NE) control group. The AOL of the first native Italian subgroup to differ from the NE subjects varied across consonant and syllable position. The results are discussed in terms of hypotheses proposed in the literature concerning the basis of segmental errors in L2 speech production.
