The effects of English connected speech processes on adult Mandarin-speaking learners’ L2 speech perception

Abstract:

Connected speech processes (CSPs) refer to alterations in pronunciation that occur when words are spoken in fluent speech, as opposed to when they are articulated individually and with care, known as their ‘citation form’. For example, the two words find and out may sound different when each word is pronounced carefully in isolation, compared to when they are spoken spontaneously in a context like ‘let’s find out’ in which the phrase may sound remarkably similar to fine doubt
