Subject: Markedness and Vowels


I am a PhD student in Turkey. I have been working on my dissertation onthe markedness differential hypothesis and the phonological errors ofTurkish EFL learners. So far, I have been unable to find previous researchdone on the errors of L2 speakers in vowel and diphthong production. Cananyone refer me to useful resources please? I found many articles onepenthesis, syllable structure, stress patterns, and consonant deletion.However, I was unable to find anything on interlanguage studies conductedon vowel production.
