Influence de la distribution et des caractéristiques acoustiques sur la perception des bilingues et des monolingues. Cas du /r/ chez les guadeloupéens et chez les français
Johanne Confiac-Akpossan.

First language shapes perception and production (Troubetzkoy, 1939; Kuhl et al., 1992). This paper compares Guadeloupean with French listeners. In Guadeloupe, creole and french coexist. The bilingual Guadeloupeans are exposed to two different phonological systems where consonant /r/ has different distribution and acoustic characteristics. Perceptual, phonological and statistical analyses tend to show an influence of these both parameters on speech perception.
