DESCRIPTION:Our speech perception is shaped by the phonetics and phonology
  of our native language. That is\, sounds and sound sequences that do not 
 occur in our language tend to be distorted and perceived as native ones. A
 dult learners therefore have difficulty not only with the production but a
 lso with the perception of second language speech. What are the underlying
  mechanisms of such perceptual distortions both at a prelexical\, phonetic
 \, level and at the lexical level? And what is the interaction between the
 se two levels? In particular\, can low-phonetic perception training enhanc
 e the processing of words containing the trained sound in a second languag
 e? I will show data from a few recent studies addressing these questions.
