Annotation

This inquiry explored electrophysiological correlates of sentence comprehension of native-accented and foreign-accented speech in a second language (L2), for sentences produced in a foreign accent different from that associated with the listeners' L1. Results suggest that the way listeners comprehend native- and foreign-accented sentences in their L2 depends on their familiarity with the accent.
