Advanced Foreign Language Learners: Prosodic Transition from L1 to L3
Lijie Yang
Abstract—This study provides more data from more
typologically distant languages and focusing on interrogative
sentences. Thus, this research addresses a key gap from previous
studies that have only studied prosodic transitions between
more typologically close languages. Moreover, this study
successfully controls for the background of participants in a
more detailed way by setting limitations on participants’
language proficiency and the recency of their language usage.
These limitations are necessary since it is difficult to conduct
research on prosodic transitions within 3 languages due to the
limited number of trilingual participants. Finally, this paper
finds that for people who speak second language (L2) and third
language (L3) with high proficiency, the influence of
phonological characters from L1 will be more prominent than
that of L2 on L3 intonational status. This study can be improved,
as the amount of data collected is limited. Besides this problem,
intonational typology considered in this paper should be reevaluated
in further studies.
