| Disgrifiad: | In the present study an assessment of the on-target and off-target production of liquids (laterals and rhotics) is undertaken in a corpus of second language (L2) Spanish. The Chinese-origin participants have immigrated to Mexicali, Mexico where they have acquired L2 Spanish in a natural setting. As a major aim, a quantitative analysis of the data is performed to determine the production of on-target and off-target articulations in lateral, tap, thrill, and syllable-coda rhotic. Internal and external factors are considered in the analysis; for example, liquid production in syllable onset, coda and consonant clusters was considered. The data were subjected to two variable rule analyses to determine factors that favored off-target articulations. Type of liquid sound, phonotactic context, education in Mexico, number of years in Mexico, and the Chinese varieties spoken all were determined significant in the production of off-target articulations. The naturalistic Spanish L2 data confirm a wide-ranging phonological diversity that was overwhelmingly produced in line with target language patterns. The production of on-target and off-target articulations was constrained by the articulatory ease and difficulty that participants face. |
