BRIDGING THE GAP BETWEEN L2 SPEECH PERCEPTION RESEARCH AND PHONOLOGICAL THEORY (2004, background): “…the ratio of her duration reliance and her spectral reliance; this ratio can be shown to be a measure of the slope of the listener’s boundary line ~Escudero & Boersma, 2003!+ In Figures 2 and 3, the subjects are divided into groups on the basis of their reliance ratios: If a subject’s ratio is…”
The linguistic perception of similar L2 sounds (2009, background): “…is a phonological phenomenon because it is specific to each language or language variety. have been shown to differ cross-linguistically (cf. Gottfried & Beddor 1998, Escudero & Polka 2003) and, even, cross-dialectally (cf. Miller & Grosjean 1997, Escudero 2001, Escudero & Boersma 2001/2003, 2004).”
