本研究调查了意大利语学习者对德语/h/和/？/ -意大利语中缺少明显对应的两个音。重要的是，在这些发音中，只有/h/是学习者从教学和拼写中明确知道的。因此，我们问这种意识是否会导致/h/比/更好的习得？/，以及是否存在差异取决于任务的明确性。在生产中，中等熟练程度的学习者在大约70%的情况下准确地执行，错误包括声音的删除和替换。在口语单词识别中，另外两组同样熟练的学习者受到了声音删除的阻碍，而不是替换，尽管他们能够在明确的良好评价任务中区分声音。总的来说，收购/？/类似于/h/，尽管没有意识到这个音。结果表明，学习者已经建立了一个组合的“声门类别”，这两个声音在语音处理中都是映射的，而它们在生产中可能更好地执行。(C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
The present study investigated Italian learners' production and perception of German /h/ and /?/ - two sounds that lack obvious linguistic counterparts in Italian. Critically, of these sounds only /h/ is explicitly known to learners from instruction and orthography. We therefore asked whether this awareness would lead to better acquisition of /h/ than /?/, and whether any differences would depend on the explicitness of the task. In production, learners of a medium proficiency level performed accurately in about 70% of the cases, with errors including sound deletions and substitutions. In spoken word recognition, two other learner groups of the same proficiency were hindered by sound deletions, but not by substitutions, although they were able to differentiate the sounds in an explicit goodness rating task. Overall, acquisition of /?/ was similar to /h/, despite lack of awareness for this sound. The results suggest that learners have established one combined "glottal category" to which both sounds map in speech processing, while they may be better implemented in production.
