The ARC Centre of excellence for the Dynamics
of Language at the Australian National University invites you to this talk:
- Wednesday, 4 February 2015 from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM (AEDT)
- Lotus Hall, The Australian Centre on China in the World, Building 188, Fellows Lane ANU
Two people who hear exactly the same speech
sounds will process them differently depending on what their own native
language prepares them to expect.
Professor Anne Cutler from
the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Dynamic of Language explains how our
native languages train us to listen in particular ways and how we ignore or
respond to specific speech cues.
This research is allowing us to predict problems as well as opportunities in second-language acquisition.
