What we hear and what we say - problems in perception and production of Hungarian vowels in adult native speakers of Croatian
The paper deals with the relationship of perception and production of speech sounds since this relationship is considered the basis of acquisition of foreign language (L2) speech sound inventory. If an L2 learner is to acquire successfully pronunciation of speech sounds in L2 that differ from the similar sounds in his or her native language (L1) (or similar sounds do not exist at all), learner must perceive specific characteristics of the sound. Next step in aquisition is practice through specifically aimed exercises (Baptista, 2006 ; Guberina, 2010). First part of results from a greater research on vowels in Hungarian (Dobrić and Katalinić, unpublished paper) show, among other things, that native speakers of Croatian perceive equally well both long and short vowels in Hungarian when listening to the list of word pairs (each pair differing only in pairs of vowels). The most difficult pair of vowels for distinction proved to be e and é because the vowels differ not only in length but openness as well. The aims of this paper were to compare length as well as in F1 and F2 of Hungarian vowels pronounced by the same of students with the values obtained for the native speakers (Gósy, 2004). The hypotheses (based on the percentage of correct answers in recognition of vowel lwngth) were that despite very good distinction of vowel length on perception level, the subjects would not clearly distinct the length in pronunciation and the values of F1 and F2 would not be consistent with those obtained for native speakers (Gósy, 2004). The values were measured using the words from the same word list (used in the first part of researh) pronunced by the students of Hungarian (L1 Croatian). The obtained results confirm inconsistencies in pronunciation of students: in vowel length, vowel openness (height) (F1) (i. e. e and é) and vowel frontness (F2) (especially for pair a – á). They are discussed on the basis of influence of L1 on pronuciation of L2 (Bakran, 1996) and show the necessity of systematic perception and production training in L2 learning and acquisition.
