Correction: From L2 acquisition to L1 restructuring: phonotactics in perception and production

Due to a production error, there were issues in phonetic and phonological transcription in the below sections and Table 1. This has now been corrected.

There was a mistake in Table 1 as published. In the Output candidate and Input /la.ti.pa/ columns, [latipɐ], [la.ti̥.pɐ], [la.tʃi.pɐ], ^*[C(stop)ɐ]/.C(stop)i./, ^*[C(aff)i̥ ]/.C(stop)i./, ^*[C(aff)ɐ]/.C(stop)i./ were misspelled. The corrected Table 1 appears below.

Table 1. Phonetic implementation output candidates for inputs /lat.pa/ and /la.ti.pa/ and corresponding cue constraint violation(s).

As Quintanilha-Azevedo (2016) notes, an input/output pair in which a less marked input form such as /la.ti.pa/ is phonetically implemented as the more marked [latpɐ] is illogical, as is its inverse input/output pair /lat.pa/-[latipɐ].

Due to a production error, there were issues in phonetic and phonological transcription in following sections.

A correction has been made to Section 3, Section 6.2.1, Section 8.2, Section 8.7, and Section 10.3.2:

Section 3:

(Un)released stop (ri[t˺.]mo/ri[t.]mo);

Palatalized stop (ri[tʃ.]mo);

Vowel epenthesis (ri[.ti.]mo / ri[.ti̥ .]mo)

Section 6.2.1:

Learners with ceiling L2 perceptual acuity exhibit constraint rankings mirroring English, whereas those with partial restructuring continue to exhibit variable mappings. Training the GLA with Cabrelli et al.'s (2019) bilingual sample's mean…

Section 8.2:

The English block featured penultimate stress (e.g., ['lɑɡ.bə]. BP included two blocks, one with penultimate ['laɡ.bɐ] and one with final stress [laɡ.'bɐ], with order counterbalanced across participants (see “Stimuli motivation” for rationale).

Section 8.7:

Of 900 items (600 BP, 300 English), 24 (2.67%) were excluded due to recording errors (n = 2), consonant or syllable epenthesis (n = 3; e.g., /map.ta/-['ma.pi.tʃi.tɐ], /map.ka/-['mapt.kɐ], syllable metathesis (n = 9; e.g., /map.ta/-['ta.map], unnatural pauses (n = 5), or uncategorizable productions (n = 5; e.g., /mat.ka/-[ma.pɐ])….

…The final dataset comprised 876 items: 584 in BP (296 with initial stress, 288 with final stress) and 292 in English.

Section 10.3.2:

In L1 BP acquisition, certain lexemes will be stored with epenthetic /i/ (e.g., obter “to obtain” → /o.bi.'teɾ/→|obiteɾ|. This entrenched representation remains largely unchanged despite L2 English exposure, meaning an underlying form such as |obiteɾ| consistently maps to /o.bi.'teɾ/ in phonological production, ….
