The effect of semantic predictability on vowel production with pure word deafness (2015)
Book Chapter

Vowels tend to be reduced in words that are semantically predictable from context, an effect amenable to talker- or listener-oriented accounts of speech production. This study explored the role of perception in these accounts by testing for effects o... Read More about The effect of semantic predictability on vowel production with pure word deafness.

Bilingual perceptual benefits of experience with a heritage language (2014)
Journal Article
Chang, C. B. Bilingual perceptual benefits of experience with a heritage language. Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 19(4), 791-809. https://doi.org/10.1017/S1366728914000261

Research on the linguistic knowledge of heritage speakers has been concerned primarily with the advantages conferred by heritage language experience in production, perception, and (re)learning of the heritage language. Meanwhile, second-language spee... Read More about Bilingual perceptual benefits of experience with a heritage language.

Never again: the multiple grammaticalization of never as a marker of negation in English (2012)
Journal Article

In both standard and nonstandard varieties of English there are several contexts in which the word never functions as a sentential negator rather than as a negative temporal adverb. This article investigates the pragmatic and distributional differenc... Read More about Never again: the multiple grammaticalization of never as a marker of negation in English.

Rapid and multifaceted effects of second-language learning on first-language speech production (2012)

Despite abundant evidence of malleability in speech production, previous studies of the effects of late second-language learning on first-language speech production have been limited to advanced learners. This study examined these effects in novice l... Read More about Rapid and multifaceted effects of second-language learning on first-language speech production.

Evidence for language transfer leading to a perceptual advantage for non-native listeners (2012)
Journal Article
Chang, C. B., & Mishler, A. (2012). Evidence for language transfer leading to a perceptual advantage for non-native listeners. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 132(4), 2700-2710. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4747615

Phonological transfer from the native language is a common problem for non-native speakers that has repeatedly been shown to result in perceptual deficits vis-a-vis native speakers. It was hypothesized, however, that transfer could help, rather than... Read More about Evidence for language transfer leading to a perceptual advantage for non-native listeners.

Phonetics vs. phonology in loanword adaptation: Revisiting the role of the bilingual (2012)
Book Chapter
Chang, C. B. (2012). Phonetics vs. phonology in loanword adaptation: Revisiting the role of the bilingual. In S. Berson, A. Bratkievich, D. Bruhn, A. Campbell, R. Escamilla, A. Giovine, L. Newbold, M. Perez, M. Piqueras-Brunet, & R. Rhomieux (Eds.), Proceedings of the 34th Annual Meeting of the Berkeley Linguistics Society: General Session and Parasession on Information Structure (61-72). Berkeley Linguistics Society

Following phonological and phonetic models of loanword adaptation, I present evidence from Burmese in favor of an intermediate model of loanword adaptation incorporating both language-independent phonetics and language-particular phonology. On the ba... Read More about Phonetics vs. phonology in loanword adaptation: Revisiting the role of the bilingual.

Systemic drift of L1 vowels in novice L2 learners (2011)
Book Chapter
Chang, C. B. (2011). Systemic drift of L1 vowels in novice L2 learners. In W.-S. Lee, & E. Zee (Eds.), Proceedings of the 17th International Congress of Phonetic Sciences (428-431). City University of Hong Kong

Studies of proficient second-language (L2) learners have often noted phonetic drift of their native language (L1) vis-à-vis monolingual norms. Such drift has been attributed to perceptual linkage between similar sounds in L1 and L2. This study provid... Read More about Systemic drift of L1 vowels in novice L2 learners.

Production of phonetic and phonological contrast by heritage speakers of Mandarin (2011)
Journal Article
Chang, C. B., Yao, Y., Haynes, E. F., & Rhodes, R. (2011). Production of phonetic and phonological contrast by heritage speakers of Mandarin. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 129(6), 3964-3980. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.3569736

This study tested the hypothesis that heritage speakers of a minority language, due to their childhood experience with two languages, would outperform late learners in producing contrast: language-internal phonological contrast, as well as cross-ling...

Research on how second-language (L2) learners acquire L2 laryngeal categories has focused on languages with “voiced” and “voiceless” categories that differ in terms of one main cue: voice onset time. The present study examines how L2 learners come to... Read More about Learning to produce a multidimensional laryngeal contrast.

This study reexamines the typologically unusual three-way laryngeal contrast in Korean among ‘lenis’, ‘fortis’, and ‘aspirated’ voiceless plosives in light of a recent proposal by Kim and Duanmu (2004) that the contrast is really among voiced, voicel...
