“…Hwa-Froelich, Hodson, and Edwards (2002) identified a number of possible phonological processes in the speech of adult Vietnamese ELLs. Final consonant devoicing and deletion, epenthesis, and problems completing clusters were among those predicted based on a contrast of Vietnamese and English phonologies.…”

“…Final consonant devoicing and deletion, epenthesis, and problems completing clusters were among those predicted based on a contrast of Vietnamese and English phonologies. Although Hwa-Froelich, Hodson, and Edwards (2002) predicted several processes that may occur in the speech of Vietnamese ELLs, they did not analyze their speakers' English productions to determine if the predicted processes actually occurred. Their study focused on identifying dialectal differences in Vietnamese phonology.…”

“…Researchers and clinicians have used contrastive analysis to characterize differences between English and a variety of languages and to inform clinical practice (Anderson, 2004;Chen, Robb, Gilbert, & Lerman, 2001;Hwa-Froelich, Hodson, & Edwards, 2002;Yavas & Goldstein, 1998). Depending on the phonetic inventories of the NL and the TL involved, adults may encounter several new phonemes and phonological patterns when learning a TL.…”

Purpose: The production of speech sound classes in adult language learners is affected by (a) interference between the native language and the target language and (b) speaker variables such as time speaking English. In this article, we demonstrate how phonological process analysis, an approach typically used in child speech, can be used to characterize adult target language phonological learning. Method: Sentences produced by 2 adult Japanese English language learners were transcribed and coded for phoneme accuracy and analyzed according to the percent occurrence of phonological processes. The results were interpreted relative to a contrastive analysis between Japanese and English phonetic inventories and developmental norms for monolingual English children.

“…As information about different cultures and languages is limited, few practitioners have the multicultural assessment skills or resources necessary to make such a judgement or a culturally appropriate assessment. Intervention tools are nonexistent (Hwa-Froelich, Hodson, & Edwards, 2002;Roseberry-McKibben, 1994). In order to treat these clients effectively more research needs to be undertaken on the languages and cultures from which these clients come.…”

To date there has been little research on the typical developmental patterns for children speaking Samoan. The research outlined in this paper serves to fill this gap by reporting on the phonological development of Samoan speaking children growing up in the English dominant language environment of Auckland New Zealand. In this study 20 children aged between 4;0 and 4;11 were assessed using a picture naming task that probed their knowledge of the Samoan phonemic inventory. The findings presented here give an indication of what children in their fifth year have as speech sounds in their phonetic inventory and the types of errors that they may still produce. These results demonstrate the similarities and differences that Samoan phonological development shares with other languages. In particular the differences that seem "atypical" when compared with studies on English are discussed. It is tentatively concluded that these differences may well be typical for Samoan speech acquisition given language specific factors and the bilingual context in which these children are growing up.

Abstract: In speech synthesis and recognition, the segmentation is an important step. The result of further steps depend completely on this process. There are several effective segmentation method in the literature, but for Vietnamese speech, researchers usually base on their experience to set the length while using sliding window. It causes an inefficient segmentation; and they need to try with the other value (length of voice). In this paper, we propose a method supporting in segmentation for Vietnamese speech and automatically determine the suitable length of voices and silent pause. We firstly estimate, by experimenting, the min and average length of a voice and a silent pause for Vietnamese speech in three main type speaking (slow, normal and fast). Then, based on these values, we start to segment the voice and pause by sliding window with proposed algorithm. Experiment results show that the proposed method can be used to effectively segment the Vietnamese speech.
