| description | This study examines the frequency of phonological assimilation in the speech
of experienced non-native speakers (L2) of English and native speakers (L1) of
British English. The study compares reading and spontaneous speech
performance by both groups. Results indicate that the L1 group assimilates
more than the L2 group in their speech production although the L2 participants
are experienced English language instructors. In addition to studying the
frequency of phonological assimilation, this study also compares the
occurrences of assimilation across different task types. There is a tendency for
assimilation to occur more frequently when the task requires less focus on the
words.
