It is well known that adults experience difficulty in perceiving and producing certain phonological contrasts not present in their native language. Adults also find difficulty in learning the specific timing of non-native articulatory gestures and contextual differences present in the language. This dissertation investigates the perception and production of Russian contrasts involving palatalized consonants in varying contexts by native speakers of American English lacking any experience in Russian, a group of native English speakers with varying degrees of Russian experience and a native Russian speaking group. Of interest are the effects of syllable position and palatalization on speakers' performance in perception and production. The framework of Articulatory Phonology (e.g. Browman & Goldstein 1986, 1992) and the Perceptual Assimilation Model (e.g. Best et al. 2001) are explored to account for differences in timing between English and Russian with respect to palatalization, and to subsequently make predictions on English speakers' perception as well as their production of the different timing property present in Russian palatalization. This dissertation also investigates the relationship between perception and production, specifically on the phenomenon of palatalization in nonnative speech. In addition to group differences I also investigate individual speaker differences with perception and production and the relationship between them.

520 $a It is well known that adults experience difficulty in perceiving and producing certain phonological contrasts not present in their native language. Adults also find difficulty in learning the specific timing of non-native articulatory gestures and contextual differences present in the language. This dissertation investigates the perception and production of Russian contrasts involving palatalized consonants in varying contexts by native speakers of American English lacking any experience in Russian, a group of native English speakers with varying degrees of Russian experience and a native Russian speaking group. Of interest are the effects of syllable position and palatalization on speakers' performance in perception and production. The framework of Articulatory Phonology (e.g. Browman & Goldstein 1986, 1992) and the Perceptual Assimilation Model (e.g. Best et al. 2001) are explored to account for differences in timing between English and Russian with respect to palatalization, and to subsequently make predictions on English speakers' perception as well as their production of the different timing property present in Russian palatalization. This dissertation also investigates the relationship between perception and production, specifically on the phenomenon of palatalization in nonnative speech. In addition to group differences I also investigate individual speaker differences with perception and production and the relationship between them.
520 $a Participants from the three groups participated in a series of perception and production experiments involving Russian palatalized stops which vary in place of articulation (labials, coronals) and syllable position (onset, coda). The experiments consisted of three perception tasks (categorization, discrimination of natural speech, and discrimination of synthetic speech) and one production task. I show that the Perceptual Assimilation Model (PAM) is largely borne out by investigating the relation between categorization and discrimination. I also show that invoking Articulatory Phonology allows us to examine the relative differences in timing between the two languages and account for certain perception and production patterns for non-native speakers of a language. I also show that speakers differ both at the group level but also within groups we see different strategies and patterns in perception and production for different speakers. This dissertation therefore contributes new data to the body of work of perception and production in non-native speech.
