Summary
This chapter revisits many of the phenomena of Unit Two (Spanish sounds) and explores them in the context of second language acquisition. This chapter discusses key concepts, issues, and assumptions central to the field of L2 phonetics and phonology and examines empirical research on the acquisition of Spanish segments and suprasegmental phenomena, reviewing evidence from studies of both production and perception. The review is focused on research employing acoustic analysis and on research centered around adult second language learners of Spanish. The chapter concludes with suggested directions for future research on the second language acquisition of Spanish sounds.
