Putting accent in its place: Rethinking obstacles to communication (2008, background): “Recent work by Zielinski (2008) demonstrates the relevance of syllable stress and segments in strong syllables.”
DECONSTRUCTING COMPREHENSIBILITY (2012, background): “Previous research, however, suggests that displaced stress patterns do interfere with listener understanding (Field, 2005 ; Hahn, 2004 ; Zielinski, 2008 ) and argues for the importance of word stress for L2 comprehensibility.”
The Effectiveness of L2 Pronunciation Instruction: A Narrative Review (2015, unknown): “2013), and listeners’ expectations (Zielinski 2008).”
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN L1 FLUENCY AND L2 FLUENCY DEVELOPMENT (2009, background): “Longer vowel durations in the Mandarin productions may have led the English listeners to assign harsher ratings because of their expectations about the role of vowel duration in stress assignment (Hahn, 2004 ; Zielinski, 2008 ).”
Using Listener Judgments to Investigate Linguistic Influences on L2 Comprehensibility and Accentedness: A Validation and Generalization Study (2015, result): “One reason for this is that previous studies included only a handful of linguistic measures or a small number of listeners (e.g. Zielinski 2008), and few examined both comprehensibility and accentedness within the same data set (e.g. Munro and Derwing 1995).”
Rater Experience, Rating Scale Length, and Judgments of L2 Pronunciation: Revisiting Research Conventions (2013, background): “Zielinski (2008) corroborated observational data of native speakers’ (NSs’) transcriptions of L2 speech with additional data sources to reveal the locus of breakdowns in listener understanding.”
