来自母语的语音迁移是非母语人士的常见问题，这一问题一再被证明会导致相对于母语人士的知觉缺陷。然而，根据假设，如果转移导致有益的偏见，那么它可能会有所帮助，而不是有害的。由于韩语和英语的发音标准不同，预计美国的韩国人在感知未放行停靠点方面会比美国人更好--不仅是用他们的母语(韩语)，而且是用他们的非母语(英语)。在三个实验中，研究人员发现，韩国人在识别韩语中未释放的停靠点、英语中识别未释放的停靠点以及区分英语中是否存在未释放的停靠点时，比美国人要准确得多。综上所述，这些结果表明，跨语言迁移能够提高非母语者的言语知觉，超出母语水平。(C)2012年美国声学学会。[http://dx.doi.org/10.1121/1.4747615]
Phonological transfer from the native language is a common problem for non-native speakers that has repeatedly been shown to result in perceptual deficits vis-a-vis native speakers. It was hypothesized, however, that transfer could help, rather than hurt, if it resulted in a beneficial bias. Due to differences in pronunciation norms between Korean and English, Koreans in the U.S. were predicted to be better than Americans at perceiving unreleased stops-not only in their native language (Korean) but also in their non-native language (English). In three experiments, Koreans were found to be significantly more accurate than Americans at identifying unreleased stops in Korean, at identifying unreleased stops in English, and at discriminating between the presence and absence of an unreleased stop in English. Taken together, these results suggest that cross-linguistic transfer is capable of boosting speech perception by non-natives beyond native levels. (C) 2012 Acoustical Society of America.
