  • Perception of the GB vowels [...] by Slovenian speakers of English [Elektronski vir]
    Stopar, Andrej, 1976-
    The paper presents a study on the perception of the General British vowels [...] by Slovenian students of English as a foreign language. The observed vowels are first addressed by comparing the vowel ... systems of General British, General American and Slovenian; then the experimental part of the study is presented. The participants' perception of the vowels was measured pre-training and post-training. The paper discusses the overall results, the progress of the strong and the weak performers, and the most typical perception errors. The participants show significant progress in their perception of the vowels after a semester of training in phonetics and phonology. The findings are used to reflect on the impact of teaching theoretical and practical aspects of phonetics and phonology.
