Project information:

My research project for advanced phonetics and phonology is on whether L2 learners of Russian can perceive native or non-native accent in Russian. 

The subjects are speakers are from various countries, some of whom speaker  Russian as a first language  and some who speak Russian as a second language.

Listeners are comprised of native Russian speakers, and non-native Russian learners, as well as some who know no Russian.  The Russian learners vary in respect to their educational background in Russian, time spent in the country, and comprehension levels. 

Listeners are asked to fill out a questionaire about their experience with Russian.  There are two sections: the first, where they judge native or non-native based on a sentence.  The second, where they judge native or non-native based on a phrase.
