摘要本研究考察了多语言使用者三个元音子系统之间的相互作用，并探讨了语言状态在解释它们之间的变异性方面可能发挥的作用。八名在德国长大的14岁儿童参加了这项研究，他们在学校学习了6年英语和1年波兰语。他们被分为三组：德国父母的孩子，一个说波兰语的父母的孩子，但德语是主要的家庭语言，和两个说波兰语的父母和波兰语作为主要家庭语言的孩子。这些年轻的多语者阅读一个单词列表，并用他们所有的语言执行延迟重复任务，两个任务都包含/i，，u，/的标记。结果表明，在所有三种语言中的元音生产的个体差异程度很大，并指出语言状态的一个因素塑造这些多语种的语音子系统。研究结果的动态系统理论的框架内解释。
ABSTRACT This study examines the interactions between three vocalic subsystems of multilingual speakers and explores the role language status might play in explaining variability across them. Eight 14-year-olds raised in Germany, who had learnt English at school for 6 years and Polish for 1 year, participated in the study. They were divided into three groups: children of German parents, children with one Polish-speaking parent but with German as the main home language, and children with two Polish-speaking parents and Polish as their main home language. The young multilinguals read a word list and performed a delayed repetition task in all their languages, with both tasks containing tokens of /i, ɪ, u, ʊ, ϵ, æ/. The results show a great degree of individual variability in the production of the vowels in all three languages and point to language status as one factor shaping the phonological subsystems of these multilinguals. The findings are interpreted within the framework of the Dynamic Systems Theory.
