dc.description.abstract | Previous research suggests that native listeners may be more tolerant to syntactic errors when they
are produced in a foreign accent. However, studies investigating this topic within the semantic
domain remain conflicting. The current study examined the effects of mispronunciations
leading to semantic abnormality in foreign-accented speech. While their EEG was recorded,
native speakers of Spanish listened to semantically correct and incorrect sentences produced by
another native speaker and a native speaker of Chinese. The anomaly in the incorrect sentences
was caused by a subtle mispronunciation (typical or atypical in Chinese-accented Spanish)
during a critical word production. While initial-stage semantic processing yielded no accentspecific
differences, late processing revealed a persistent N400-effect in the foreign-accent but
not in the native-accent. These findings suggest that foreign-accented mispronunciations are
more difficult to integrate than native-accented errors, regardless of their relative typicality. The
distinction between syntactic and semantic processing of foreign-accented speech is discussed. | es_ES |
