Dear all,
I was wondering if anyone of you can share any ideas about the topic: literature and sharing contacts of colleagues working on second/foreign language acquisition of suprasegmentals, in particular intonation. I am writing my PhD thesis at the University of Munich and my main research question is how can the different proficiency of near-native accent of adult second language learners be explained with focus on intonation. As far as I am informed, the area of segmentals has been far more researched than the one about acquiring (in the case of immigrants) or learning (in the case of foreign language learners) of the suprasegmentals. I would be extremely happy if you inform me about some person(s) who has/have the same research interests (or if you are one of them) so that we can exchange ideas (or maybe I can find an additional supervisor from abroad). Also, I was wondering about what kind of software you use in order to transcribe intonation. I have heard about PRAAT and looked at their home page. After installing the program, it seems to me too complicated, so I am not quite sure about which parameters exactly are used for transcribing and analyzing intonation. I would be grateful for any input or information that can help me. Thank you in advance Kind regards Tanja Angelovska M.A. |
