dc.description.abstract | Polish is a language where true geminates appear and the occurrence of a double
consonant letter in spelling corresponds with double or at least prolonged consonant
articulation regardless of the morphological structure of the word. The above principle
also concerns most borrowings, such as the English word ‘hobby’, for instance. In
English, true geminates do not occur and a morpheme-internal double consonant letter is
only a fairly reliable indication of the way the preceding vowel should be pronounced.
This discrepancy may lead to negative transfer in Polish learners of English. Our recent
research of native Polish speech (Rojczyk and Porzuczek, in press) generally confirmed
the results reported by Ladefoged and Maddieson (1996), among others, who found
geminates to be 1.5-3 times longer than singletons. In our study we investigate the
influence of double consonant letters on L1 and English pronunciation of Polish learners.
They read trochaic family names containing intervocalic <nn>. Each name is preceded by
a first name suggesting the nationality (Polish, English, German or Italian) of the person
mentioned. By placing each tested item in a Polish and an English semantically and
rhythmically equivalent sentences (This is .../To jest...), we measure the level of
consonant length variation with respect to the language in which the potential geminates
appear, the language context and the learning experience of the students. In this way we
collect evidence and formulate observations concerning the learners’ awareness of the
status of geminates in various languages and the probability of transfer in EFL learning | pl_PL |
