I'm forwarding two questions from a phonetics student who is no subscribed to LINGUIST: (1) Are there languages in which the alveolar trill and uvular trill co-occur as separate phonemes? (2) Are people who learn a foreign language after puberty necessarily doomed to having a foreign accent due to influence from their mother tongue? Please reply to: Mia Shen at jaywalkk@yahoo.com.tw I'll ask her to summarize to the list if there are enough replies. Thank you! Karen S.
