Abstract: Auditory word processing is affected by the orthographic rules of a language (i.e., the grapheme-to-phoneme conversion (GPC) rules), both in native (L1) and novel (L2) languages (Zeigler & Ferrand, 1998; Bassetti et al., 2018; Bürki et al., 2019). In the present project, we aim at exploring the influence of GPC rules at the phonemic level, for both perception and production of speech sounds.

We first explore whether L1 speech sounds are reshaped after literacy acquisition in children. We show that young (and good) readers are faster at detecting and producing consistent than inconsistent sounds, implying that existing speech sound representations can be reshaped by later-learned orthography (Jevtovid et al., under review). We then explore whether L2 speech sound learning in adults is affected by orthography. We show that novel speech sounds are perceived and produced differently depending on the consistency of GPC rules between the native and the novel language. Interestingly, L1 speech sound representations also get reshaped after learning those novel GPC rules in L2 (Stoehr & Martin, under review).

Altogether, those results show that literacy acquisition has a strong impact on speech sound perception and production. Learning GPC rules in a native language as a child or in a novel language during adulthood drastically impacts the way we perceive and produce speech sounds both in L1 and L2.

About the speaker
Clara D. Martin is an Ikerbasque research professor at the BCBL (Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language, Donostia-San Sebastián, Spain). After obtaining her PhD in cognitive neuroscience at the University of Lyon, France, in 2005, she worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the University of Bangor, Wales and the University Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, Spain, where she got expertise in the field of language processing and bilingualism. In 2012, she joined the BCBL as an Ikerbasque investigator, and leader of the research group “Speech and Bilingualism”.

The main objective of Dr. Martin’s research group is to explore language perception and production, in native and foreign languages, with a special focus on language interactions in the bilingual mind. Her research group also focuses on language learning, exploring how we learn to perceive and produce novel sounds and words, and how those processes can be optimized. Her research group recently started an ERC large-scale project investigating the impact of orthography on speech sound and word perception and production across modalities (listen, read, speak, type), languages (opaque and transparent orthographies) and populations (monolinguals and bilinguals, with different perceptual and reading skill levels).
