Apstrakt

U ovoj studiji se ispituje produkcija engleskog rotičkog glasa kod govornika kiparskog grčkog, čija je tipična realizacija u L1 alveolarni dotačnik (eng. tap). Takođe se porede produkcija učenika koji pohađaju školu na engleskom i onih koji pohađaju školu na grčkom tokom srednjoškolskog obrazovanja. Ispitanici su studenti koji su bili uzrasta 17–21 kada su se preselili u Veliku Britaniju; dužina boravka bila je 1–4 godine, a starost ispitanika 18–24 godina. Kontrolnu grupu je sačinjavalo šestoro izvornih govornika engleskog. Učesnici su snimljeni dok izgovaraju liste reči na grčkom i engleskom jeziku sa rotičnim glasom u početnoj, međuvokalskoj poziciji i u grupama Cr i rC. Ispitivani su način tvorbe, trajanje i frekvencija formanata. Rezultati ukazuju na to da su učenici iz škola na engleskom jeziku uspešniji u produkciji engleskog aproksimanta nego polaznici škola na grčkom, premda nijedna od dve grupe ispitanika ne doseže vrednosti izvornih govornika u svim kontekstima, ni kada je reč o trajanju, ni kada je reč o frekvenciji formanata. Takođe su primećeni efekti fonetskog sistema L1 na produkciju rotičnog glasa u L2. Ova studija daje uvid u oblast kojoj je pruženo malo pažnje u kontekstu Kipra, i predstavlja osnov za buduće istraživanje koje može dovesti do poboljšanja u predavanju i učenju engleskog na Kipru i drugim jezicima sa sličnim fonetskim inventarom.
