Title
On the Acquisition of Variable Phonology in L2
Abstract
The authors describe the competence in French of the first generation of Montreal Anglophones in the cohort that had access to French immersion schooling, i.e. young adults who were between the ages of 18 and 33 in 1993. They examine speech production, as well as how native speakers react to the varieties of Anglophone French that they hear. They ask whether someone identified as having 'un gros accent' make a different kind of impression from someone who, albeit quite identifiable as an Anglophone, nevertheless sounds more native-like?
