Keeping the Floor in Multiparty Conversations: Intonation, Syntax, and Pause (2003, background): “Turning to second language studies, which provide indirect evidence of native speaker patterns, Tyler (1992) and Wennerstrom (2000) documented cases of conversations in which native speakers of English interrupted nonnative speakers at points where a low intonation boundary was followed by a pause.”
Native speakers’ perceptions of fluency and accent in L2 speech (2014, background): “In her study on the role of pitch and phrasal segmentation, Wennerstrom (2000) showed that prosody affects listeners’ perception of L2 fluency.”
Second Language Fluency: Judgments on Different Tasks (2004, background): “Although prosodic accuracy contributes to the overall impression of fluency (Derwing & Rossiter, 2003; Wennerstrom, 1998, 2000), it is unlikely to vary much over a period of a few minutes, unlike fluency itself, which is subject to a wide range of influences (including knowledge of the content…”
LEARNING SECOND LANGUAGE SUPRASEGMENTALS: Effect of L2 Experience on Prosody and Fluency Characteristics of L2 Speech (2006, background): “…et al+, 1992; Koster & Koet, 1993;Munro, 1995!, that nativelike use of suprasegmentals characterizes fluent L2 speech ~Dechert & Raupach, 1987; Wennerstrom, 2000!, and that explicit instruction focusing on suprasegmentals—more likely so than segmental training—might translate into nativelike…”
Becoming "Black Lambs" Not "Parrots": A Poststructuralist Orientation to Intelligibility and Identity (2005, background): “Studies concerning the interrelationship among comprehensibility, accent, fluency, and prosody have been complimented by a focus on how trained and untrained judges perceive an L2 speaker's comprehensibility in terms of these factors (Derwing & Munro, 1997; Derwing & Rossiter, 2003; Derwing, Rossite”
Impact of Rater Characteristics and Prosodic Features of Speaker Accentedness on Ratings of International Teaching Assistants' Oral Performance (2012, background): “This restricted tonal range leads to a succession of mostly high or mostly low strings of syllables (Pickering, 2004; Wennerstrom, 2000).”
Exploring measures and perceptions of fluency in the speech of second language learners. (2004, background): “…the temporal aspects of speech production (e.g. Lennon 1990; Möhle, 1984), the second combines these variables with the investigation of interactive features (e.g. Riggenbach, 1991) and the third approach explores the phonological aspects of fluency (e.g. Hieke, 1984, Wennerstrom, 2000) as well.”
CONTEXT OF LEARNING AND SECOND LANGUAGE FLUENCY IN FRENCH: Comparing Regular Classroom, Study Abroad, and Intensive Domestic Immersion Programs (2004, unknown): “…1992; Foster & Skehan, 1996; Freed, So, & Lazar, 2003; Lennon, 1990; Möhle, 1984; Olynyk, d’Anglejan, & Sankoff, 1990; Raupach, 1984; Riggenbach, 1989, 1991; Temple, 1992; Towell, Hawkins, & Bazergui, 1996; Wennerstrom, 2000!+ Sometimes, the features studied can be viewed as representing…”
Suprasegmental Measures of Accentedness and Judgments of Language Learner Proficiency in Oral English (2010, background): “In other words, it is important that the present findings not be confused with the well-established conclusion that restricted pitch range may adversely affect NNSs’ comprehensibility (Mennen, 1998; Pickering, 1999; Wennerstrom, 2000).”
