Sociolinguistic Variation and Language Transfer in Phonology. Working Papers on Bilingualism, No. 12 [electronic resource] / Richard W. Schmidt.
This article investigates a specific foreign language (FL) learning problem, the substitution of /s,z/ for English unvoiced and voiced "th" by native speakers of Egyptian Arabic, and concludes that the facts are better explained in terms of language transfer than by an explanation in terms...

| 520 | |a This article investigates a specific foreign language (FL) learning problem, the substitution of /s,z/ for English unvoiced and voiced "th" by native speakers of Egyptian Arabic, and concludes that the facts are better explained in terms of language transfer than by an explanation in terms of inherent difficulty independent of native language. A careful contrastive analysis can make quite precise predictions about the substitution that is made, the learners who make such substitutions and the circumstances under which the substitution is most common. However, it is argued that for the present case a contrastive analysis of the conventional kind, comparing native and target language as static systems, is useless. What is required is a sociolinguistic analysis of the native language, as it is a pattern of sociolinguistic variation which is being transferred to English. (Author) | ||
