Vulnerability to semantic and phonological interference in normal aging and amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI).

To determine whether the increased vulnerability to semantic interference previously observed in amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI) is specifically associated with semantic material or if it also affects other types of material, suggesting generalized executive and inhibitory impairment. Seventy-two participants divided into two groups (33 aMCI, 39 normal control [NC]) matched for age and education were included. They completed a comprehensive neuropsychological examination, the French version of the Loewenstein Acevedo Scale for Semantic Interference and Learning (LASSI-L; semantic interference test), and a homologous experimental phonological test, the phonological interference and learning test. Independent sample t tests, mixed analysis of variance (ANOVA), and analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) on memory and interference scores were conducted to compare memory and interference in both conditions for both groups. For memory scores, results revealed significant main effects of group (NC > aMCI) and condition (semantic > phonological) and significant interactions (poorer performance in the semantic condition for aMCI). aMCI committed more phonological false recognition errors, were disproportionately more vulnerable to retroactive semantic interference, and showed a higher percentage of intrusion errors associated with proactive semantic interference than NC. To our knowledge, this is the first study to compare vulnerability to interference in aMCI and normal aging with two similarly designed semantic and phonological word list learning tasks. Taken together, our results suggest that aMCI present with broad difficulties in source memory and inhibition, but that impaired deep semantic processing results in additional semantic intrusion errors during proactive interference and impacts their ability to show good recall after an interference list (greater semantic retroactive interference). Results are discussed according to the level-of-processing and activation/monitoring theories. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved).

Bidialectal acoustic realization of tones is influenced by dialect experience and homophone status

While evidence shows that interlingual cognates can enhance cross-language phonetic assimilation in production, it is reasonable to assume that interlingual homophones can enhance cross-language phonological interference. Distinct from cognates, interlingual homophones do not share semantic content, which may affect the degree of co-activation observed across languages. The present study examines this hypothesis in a group of bidialectal speakers, whose lexicon consists of a large number of inter-dialectal homophones. Productions of Chengdu Mandarin tones by Chengdu Mandarin and Standard Mandarin speakers were examined in a word naming task. The results showed that bidialectal speakers’ native tone productions were influenced by their experience in speaking Standard Mandarin as well as the inter-dialectal homophone status of the lexical item. Additionally, both of these influences were modulated by the structure of the inter-dialect tone categories. The findings support the similarity between bidialectal and bilingual speech processing and provide novel evidence for bilingual speech models from the level of suprasegmental processing.

Full Transfer and Segmental Emergence in the L2 Acquisition of Phonology: A Case Study

In this paper, we discuss a child Kazakh speaker’s acquisition of English as her second language. In particular, we focus on this child’s development of the English segments |f, v, θ, ð, ɹ, ʃ, ʧ|, which are not part of the Kazakh phonological inventory of consonants. We begin with a longitudinal description of the patterns that the child displayed through her acquisition of each of these segments. The data reveal patterns that range from extremely rapid to rather slow and progressive acquisition. The data also reveal patterns that were unexpected at first, for example, the slow development of |ʧ| in syllable onsets, an affricate that occurs as a contextual allophone in syllable onsets in Kazakh. We analyze these patterns through the Phonological Interference hypothesis, which was recently extended into the Feature Redistribution and Recombination hypothesis. These models predict the transfer into the L2 of all of the relevant phonological features present within the learner’s first language and their recombination to represent segments present in the L2. We also discuss contexts where feature-based approaches to L2 acquisition fail to capture the full range of observations. In all such contexts, we show that the facts are modulated by phonetic characteristics of the speech sounds present in either the child’s L1 or her L2.

INTERFERENSI BAHASA MELAYU MALAYSIA DALAM BERBAHASA INDONESIA MANTAN TKI DI DUSUN TANAH EJA KABUPATEN BULUKUMBA

This study aims to: (1) describe the phonological interference form of speech of former migrant workers in Tanah Eja Hamlet, Bulukumba Regency; and (2) describe the form of semantic interference of former migrant workers' speech in Tanah Eja hamlet, Bulukumba Regency. This type of research is qualitative research. This research was conducted in Tanah Eja hamlet, Bulukumba Regency, South Sulawesi. The focus of this research and the limitations of this research include tuturain kaita that experience interference, then studied in the semaintic category that is only related to lexical meaning. As for the phonological category, three types of phonological interference will be focused, namely phonological interference, phoneme changes, phoneme addition, and phoneme reduction / removal interference.

The Effectiveness of Hybrid Learning in English Pronunciation Pedagogy in the Nigerian ESL Context

This paper is a study on the effectiveness of hybrid learning; a blend of traditional and technology-based training, vis-à-vis the second language (L2) learner of English pronunciation. Specifically, our motivation is centred on the functionality of combining the habitual classroom teaching style with the Telegram app (a mobile-based technological tool) for studies relating to speech production and perception. The methodical procedure and design for this study is both quantitative and descriptive; employing the use of a multiple-choice questionnaire in data collection from 401 Nigerian undergraduate and postgraduate students in the University of Benin, Nigeria, to ascertain the effectiveness of digital designs and stratagems. Pie charts are employed to display multiple divisions of the study's data comparison. This study emphasizes the Online-Driver Blended Learning Model; such a pedagogical approach exposes the L2 learner to a more involved and effective way of understanding how to avoid imposing an unfamiliar accent upon the target language. Consequently, we see a merger of online practical exercises and exposure to uploaded multimodal texts and native speakers' spoken data (audio-visual recordings/voice notes) with scheduled direct classroom interludes. Findings confirm that exploiting such a hybrid model enhances students' cognitive abilities and retentive capacity regarding English pronunciation. Such digital audio-visual tools are paramount phonetic strategies for learning how to avoid unacceptable phonetic alterations. Thus, we see the effectiveness of integrating the Telegram app into the traditional brick-and-mortar educational method in handling problems associated with speech sound production and second-language phonological interference.

Phonological Exploitation in Constructing Humourous Utterances

This research is conducted to reveal the strategy of humour construction dealing with phonological exploitation in Mind Your Language situation comedy. Mind Your Language is a British comedy television series that portrays a learning process by immigrants coming from various countries. Varieties of cultures and levels of English knowledge naturally influence humour creation by the characters. The data were taken from humourous utterances in season one of that situation comedy. Applying a descriptive qualitative approach, this research is in an attempt to find out the forms and the motives of those humourous utterances created to entertain audiences, especially those dealing with phonological aspects. The findings demonstrate that six forms of phonological aspects are employed to create humour. Sounds addition, omission, substitution, and minimal pairs are frequently exploited in humour creation rather than other strategies such as sound compatibility and metathesis. Based on the motives of humour construction, besides the interlocuter’s influence, the phonological interference phenomenon also grounds the humour production in Mind Your Language situation comedy. The humourous utterances produced illustrate a contextual relation of the situation comedy as an English learning process by immigrants coming from various countries, languages, and cultures.

Analysis of Mistakes in Indonesian Language in The Community of Mekar Tanjung Village, Teluk Dalam District

The purpose of this study is to determine the style of language and describe the meaning of Fiersa Besari's songs through a Hermeneutic approach based on the theory of Frierdrich Ernst Daniel Schleirmacher with the theory of Grammatical Interpretation and Psychological Interpretation. This type of research method is descriptive qualitative. Data collection methods and techniques used in this study, namely library methods and field methods where the techniques used are recording techniques, listening techniques and note taking techniques. The data analysis technique focuses on how hermeneutics works in discussing the interpretation of meaning. The results of this study the author concludes that the lyrics of the song Fiersa Besari uses a variety of language styles such as metonymy, hyperbole, pleonasm, personification, metaphor, sarcasm, eroticism, assonation, polysindenton, epithet, satire, cynicism, and irony . The meanings contained in the lyrics of the song are: (1) about a long distance love story, (2) a devotional song to improve attitudes towards the Indonesian homeland, (3) an unrequited love story, (4) satire to the people and the Indonesian government. Language is associated with the identity of a nation. Communication is difficult between ethnic groups because the use of Indonesian orally is influenced by the dialect of each ethnic group. This study aims to determine errors in spoken Indonesian among the people of Mekar Tanjung Village, Teluk Dalam District in terms of phonological, morphological and syntactic interference. Qualitative research methods, data analysis techniques using interviews with three different sources. The results of the study explained that errors in spoken language in the aspect of phonological interference were found in 13 words, errors in spoken language in the aspect of morphological interference were found in 11 (four) words and errors in spoken language in the community of Mekar Tanjung Village, Teluk Dalam District in terms of syntactic interference aspects were found as many as 11 (eleven) phrases, 5 (five) sentences of errors in clauses and 10 (ten) sentences in sentences without a subject.

Global mapping congruence influences phonological interference: ERP evidence for early and persistent ortho-phonological effects in reading Chinese for meaning.

Phonological interference during written-word meaning judgments occurs in both Chinese and English, suggesting that word-level phonological activation is universal rather than dependent on the sublexical structures that vary with writing systems. To accommodate this universality, we distinguish two sources of phonological congruence between a meaning-bearing orthographic unit (word or character) and other units in the orthographic lexicon: (a) Global congruence between a word (or character) and its orthographic neighbors having the same pronunciation and (b) Local congruence between a word (or character) and its graphic constituents (letters or radicals). Recent evidence by Zhou and Perfetti in 2021 shows a greater role for global than local congruence in covert naming of Chinese characters. We hypothesize this is true also for meaning processing and use behavioral and event-related potential (ERP) measures to test this hypothesis during character meaning judgments. As expected, we found word-level phonological interference in meaning decision times. Further, ERPs detected interference effects related to global congruence at early and mid-latency ERP components; local congruence effects emerged only in interaction with global congruence. A late ERP component (LPC) also showed phonological interference, but no effect on mapping congruence. These time-course results suggest two phases of phonological activation: (a) character identification, influenced mainly by global congruence, as indicated in early and mid-latency ERP components and (b) meaning comparison, influenced only by lexical phonology, as indicated by the LPC component. The early phase of lexical processing is much the same whether meaning or pronunciation is required because it engages ortho-phonological associations that are not easily suppressed.

English Interference on Balinese Dialect in Tejakula Village

There is phenomenon occured in Bali, where the people use Balinese as the first language and Indonesian & English became the second language. This study aimed to analyze the phonological interference of the Balinese dialect on English. This research had a type of qualitative research. The research methods and techniques consist of methods and techniques for providing data, data analysis methods, and data presentation methods and techniques. The data collection of this research was done by asking native speakers of Tejakula village to read some English words and the researcher recorded them. The text used by researcher was randomly and without prior notice, so that native speakers had no preparation to study it first. The method used to analyze data was the articulatory phonetic equivalent method. While the methods used to deliver the results of this study were formal and informal methods. Based on the results of the study, it was found that the phonological interference of the Balinese dialect to English. The interference was heard clearly in the hissing sound. As well as other interference that occurs in the sound /æ/ in the middle, /th/, /ʃ/, and the sound ending in sound /o/.

THE COMPARISON OF PHONEME PRONUNCIATION PHONOLOGICAL INTERFERENCE OF ق [Q] IN SUNDANESE AND JAVANESE SPEAKERS

The study analyses the phonological interference of phoneme pronunciation [q] by Sundanese and Javanese speakers compared with Arabic speakers. The researchers used a descriptive comparative qualitative method. The researchers listened, took notes, and documented the voice recordings of male students from the Sundanese and Javanese ethnic groups when reading the Qur'an to collect research data and analyse it using Praat software version 6.2.13. From the results of the recordings, Sundanese-speaking students and Javanese speakers would then be compared with reference speakers, namely Syekh Sa'ad Al-ghamidi, who has the capability of reciting verses from the Qur'an. The research results indicated phonological interference in the phoneme [q] when Sundanese and Javanese male students read the Qur'an. The factor contributing to the occurrence of pronunciation errors in the phoneme [q] was the transfer of SL and JL elements when using AL. Errors occurred due to deviations from the proper language rules. The research is expected to have positive implications, minimizing interference and increasing fluency in reading the Qur'an.

English Phonological Interference by Indonesian Speakers in a MoFA’s Media Briefing

Phonological interference occurs when a speaker reproduces the sound in the second language system but the use of the first language system is still recognized. This phenomenon is frequently found in the speech or utterances of second language speakers such as that of presented in a video from Indonesian Minister of Foreign Affair’s (hence MoFA) YouTube channel entitled “Media Briefing of Covid-19 Vaccine Development in Indonesia”. Thus, this study focuses on the phonological interference in the video by investigating its types based on particular characteristics of the categories. This research applies Weinreich’s theory of phonological interference (1968) as the grand theory to answer the research problem and qualitative descriptive method as the research. The data collected are obtained by recording technique to combine the equivalence of the video recording and the transcript. The results show the findings on four types of phonological interference. They are under-differentiation of phonemes, over-differentiation of phonemes, reinterpretation of distinctions, and actual phone substitution.

Sundanese Language Interference Toward EFL Students’ Pronunciation

Due to the different system of Sundanese and English, Sundanese students find difficulties in learning English. This is called language interference. Students’ mother tongue is a significant factor in learning the target language. It also influences the pronunciation of that target language. This research is focused on discovering the Sundanese language interference toward sundanese students in Universitas Garut who learn English as a foreign language, especially in pronouncing the consonant words in English language. Five students in the first grade are participated in this study. Qualitative method in the type of case study is used in conducting this research. The qualitative data are obtained from the result of interview and observation. The collected data from interview are presented in the form of interview transcript. The data from observation are presented in the form of students’ reading transcript. In order to get the trustworthiness, source and technique triangulations are used. Furthermore, Interactive Model proposed by Miles and Huberman is applied in this study. The result of this research shows that language interference faced by Sundanese students is phonological interference which belongs to re-interpretation and substitution. After observing the students reading, it is found that there are some consonants which are often pronounced incorrectly. They are θ (th), ð (TH), ʃ (sh), ʒ (zh), and v. Besides, it is revealed that there are three reasons of Sundanese students make error in pronouncing English consonant. They are (1) Lack of Knowledge in Vocabulary, Phonetic and Phonology; (2) The consonants do not exist in mother tongue; and (3) Orthographic Interference.

INTERFERENCE OF JAVANESE BOJONEGORO DIALECT IN INDONESIAN LANGUAGE LEARNING HIGH CLASS STUDENTS SDN 1 JIPO, KEPOHBARU, BOJONEGORO

Interference is one of the effects of language contact. Interference is interpreted as interference, interference, or the inclusion of language elements into other languages. This research is intended to find out the forms of interference and possible solutions to improve Indonesian language learning, especially for students at SDN 1 Jipo, Kepohbaru, Bojonegoro. This research is a type of descriptive qualitative research. The data in this study are transcripts of student conversations when learning Indonesian takes place. Data collection was carried out using observation, recording, interviewing, and listening techniques. Then do preduction and presentation of data, as well as drawing conclusions. The last step, the researchers conducted time triangulation, to experts, and discussions. Based on the results of data analysis,five forms of language interference were found, namely cultural interference, semantics, syntax, morphology and phonology. Cultural interference occurs due to students' lack of knowledge of the target language culture (B2). Semantic interference occurs in the use of words that have variables in a language. Syntactic interference, including the grammatical system of B1 mixed with B2. Morphological interference, occurs in the formation and change of word formsin the use of B1 due to friction with B2. Phonological interference, there are errors in pronunciation or pronunciation of sounds in Indonesian because they are influenced byregional language (Javanese).Language interference is difficult to eliminate so we need a way to minimize its impact. The methods that can be used are the teacher's efforts, student awareness, and the role of the environment.

Phonological Interference of Indonesian Consonants Into Korean

Learning Korean as a foreign language requires accurate pronunciation. Korean language has 3 characteristics of consonants, namely basic consonants, fortic consonants, and aspirate consonants. This study aims to describe the phonological interference of consonants that occurs from Indonesian to Korean. This study uses a qualitative descriptive research method to find out what phonological transfers are found when Indonesian speakers pronounce words with three types of consonants in Korean. The subjects of this study were 5 Indonesian speakers who studied Korean. The five subjects were given a short story containing words with various consonants to read, and their voices were recorded. Analysis of the data showed that there were differences in the pronunciation of some Korean and Indonesian consonants in the phonological transfer when Korean was spoken by Indonesian speakers. There are 3 weak affirmative consonants in Korean /ㅈ j /, strong affirmative /ㅉc'/ and aspirational affirmative /ㅊ t h /, while in Indonesian there are 2 affirmative consonants, namely voiceless consonants /c/ and affirmative consonants /j/. This causes interference in the pronunciation of Korean by Indonesians. This research leads to the conclusion that factors causing mispronunciation include the application of Indonesian pronunciation rules when pronouncing Korean, because the sound of Korean phonemes are equated with similar Indonesian phonemes, and the lack of student training.

The Phonological Interference of Balinese Language of Jagaraga Dialect in English Pronunciation

English is a very important language to be taught and learnt because nowadays it is spoken by billions of people worldwide in many aspects of life. It makes people across the globe with English as L1, L2, and also foreign language need to learn English as well especially Indonesia. This study aimed to investigate the significant effects of the Suggestopedia method implementation on young learners’ vocabulary achievement. This study applied a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental design. The population of this study was children at the Destawan Hindu orphanage. The sample was 10 children classified as young learners (ages 7-12). Data were collected through a pretest-posttest which includes 20 MCTs. The experimental and control group data were analyzed using an independent samples t-test and Glass’s delta effect size. The finding revealed that the mean score of the experimental group was higher than the control group with a large Glass’s delta effect size (2.98 more than 0.80). In conclusion, the implementation of the suggestopedia method has a significant effect on young learners’ vocabulary achievement.

Learning and vulnerability to phonological and semantic interference in normal aging: an experimental study

ABSTRACT This study compares semantic and phonological interference vulnerability across the full range of learning processes. Method: 43 controls aged 61–88 underwent a neuropsychological examination, French adaptation of the LASSI-L, and an experimental phonological test, the TIP-A. Paired sample t-tests, factorial ANOVA and hierarchical regressions were conducted, psychometric properties were calculated. Results: TIP-A efficiently generated phonological interference between concurrent word lists and was associated with short-term memory, unlike LASSI-L. On LASSI-L, proactive interference was higher than retroactive interference; the opposite pattern was found on TIP-A. Memory performance was better explained by age in the semantic than in the phonological task. Age was not associated with interference vulnerability. Intrusions and false recognition were associated with cognitive functioning regardless of age, particularly in the semantic context. Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first study to assess phonological and semantic interference using homologous concurrent word list tasks, and not a working memory build-up or DRM paradigm. The pattern obtained illustrates the weak initial memory trace in a phonological context and results are discussed according to depth-of-processing and dual-process theories. Similar paradigms could be studied among various pathologies for a better understanding of generalised interference vulnerability vs. specific semantic or phonological impairment.

Waseda Boys’ Phonological Interference of Indonesian Food Names In Nihongo Mantappu Vlogs

Interference is a mistake generally made by second language learners because they are influenced by their first language ability. Meanwhile, phonological interference is a mistake that occurs at the sound level due to changes in phonemes influenced by knowledge of the sound system in the first language. This paper discusses the errors of second language learners in understanding the sound changes that occur in the language they are learning. This study aims to describe the forms and factors that cause phonological interference committed by “Tes Wasedaboys Tulis Nama Makanan Indonesia! Ngakak Banget!”. The method used in the research is descriptive qualitative method with the theory referring to Weinrich's interference theory (1953). The data collection method used is the listening method with free listening technique. Based on the analysis that has been done, the form of phonological interference that occurs in the YouTube video on the Nihongo Mantappu channel entitled “Tes Wasedaboys Tulis Nama Makanan Indonesia! Ngakak Banget!” is divided into 2 classifications, namely 9 data of vowel phoneme interference and 8 data of consonant phoneme interference. Each interference is divided based on the addition of phonemes as much as 3 data, based on phoneme changes as much as 7 data, and based on phoneme reduction as much as 7 data. The factors that cause phonological interference are (1) bilingualism of speech participants which amounted to 3 data, (2) differences in vowel sounds and writing methods which amounted to 11 data, (3) carrying the mother tongue which amounted to 3 data.
