Summary
The lack of appropriate methodology creates an obstacle to progress in L2 speech research. Specific suggestions are provided here regarding how to obtain samples of L1 and L2 speech production that are representative of bilinguals’ typical productions of L1 and L2 speech sounds. Recommendations are made regarding methods that might be used to assess the perception of L2 speech sounds, to determine when a new phonetic category has been formed, and to obtain more accurate estimates of percentage L1 and L2 use. Finally, a new technique is unveiled for measuring the quantity and quality of L2 input to which learners have been exposed. The new technique provides a way to determine, for the first time, what kinds of L2 input distributions promote the formation of new phonetic categories for L2 sounds.
