This paper explores Spanish-speaking English as a second language learners’ awareness of a non-distinctive phonetic dissent between Spanish and English via a delayed mimicry paradigm. Learners generate an implicit phonological awareness of the cross-language VOT discrepancy among Spanish and English voiceless stops.
