研究会话中语音趋同性的实验往往集中在具有相似语音清单的对话者身上。将这些实验扩展到那些具有不同库存的人，需要了解说话者模仿母语和非母语电话的能力。在本研究中，我们测试了母语为西班牙语和英语为母语的人，以确定是否模仿非母语令牌从质上不同于模仿母语令牌。参与者模仿[ba]-[pa]连续体，其VOT从-60 ms（发音，西班牙语[B]）到+60 ms（长滞后，英语[p]）不等，因此连续体由一些西班牙语母语的标记和一些英语母语的标记组成。对仿制品的分析显示了两个关键结果。首先，这两组发言者表现出敏感性的VOT差异的令牌，属于他们的母语地区的VOT连续体（prevoiced区西班牙语和英语的长滞后区）。其次，没有一组发言者表现出这样的敏感性，在他们的非母语地区的连续体的令牌之间的VOT差异。这些结果表明，即使在有意模仿任务中，说话人也不能准确地模仿非母语标记，但在产生母语标记方面显然是灵活的。这些研究结果的影响进行了讨论，参考收敛在不同的语言背景的对话者的限制。
Experiments investigating phonetic convergence in conversation often focus on interlocutors with similar phonetic inventories. Extending these experiments to those with dissimilar inventories requires understanding the capacity of speakers to imitate native and non-native phones. In the present study, we tested native Spanish and native English speakers to determine whether imitation of non-native tokens differs qualitatively from imitation of native tokens. Participants imitated a [ba]–[pa] continuum that varied in VOT from −60 ms (prevoiced, Spanish [b]) to +60 ms (long lag, English [p]) such that the continuum consisted of some tokens that were native to Spanish speakers and some that were native to English speakers. Analysis of the imitations showed two critical results. First, both groups of speakers demonstrated sensitivity to VOT differences in tokens that fell within their native regions of the VOT continuum (prevoiced region for Spanish and long lag region for English). Secondly, neither group of speakers demonstrated such sensitivity to VOT differences among tokens that fell in their non-native regions of the continuum. These results show that, even in an intentional imitation task, speakers cannot accurately imitate non-native tokens, but are clearly flexible in producing native tokens. Implications of these findings are discussed with reference to the constraints on convergence in interlocutors from different linguistic backgrounds.
