Accommodation in learner corpora: A case study in phonetic convergence by Léa Burin, Nicolas Ballier

“…This corroborates Babel’s (2009) results that low vowels tend to be more subject to imitation than high vowels, and especially within the F1 dimension.Convergence in vowel duration in order to sound more native-like and accommodation from all speakers regarding speech rate have also been observed (Zając 2013). Conclusions drawn from this preliminary research study suggest that previous findings on intralanguage processes of accommodation appear to be validated in the case of native/non-native interactions.…”
