Phonetic variation in Italian L2: An acoustic analysis of sibilant fricatives in the speech of L1 Spanish learners Rossi, Martina Meluzzi, Chiara Lahoz Bengoechea, José María Italian L2 Phonetic variation Spanish-speaking learners Sibilant fricatives Phonological acquisition Filología italiana Lengua española 5705.05 Fonética 5705.06 Fonología 5705.01 Lingüística Comparada 5701.11 Enseñanza de Lenguas The present study investigates the acoustic features of Italian sibilant fricatives (/s/, /z/ and /ʃ/) in the speech of L1 Spanish learners. Segmental duration, degree of voicing and place of articulation of learners’ productions are analysed alongside those of a control group of L1 Italian speakers to investigate the fine-grained phonetic differences between native and non-native pronunciation. Results from a quantitative analysis suggest that factors such as the degree of typological markedness of the phoneme and the influence of the L1 in perception and production affect L2 pronunciation to a different extent for each of the target sounds.
