Patterns of Prominence in L2 : Observations from Learners of Swedish with L1S of Diverse Prominence Properties

Abstract
Swedish has – like other Germanic languages – flexible stress placement, which underlies morphological rules and is also based on the

For that reason, learners with Somali, Albanian, Vietnamese and Farsi as their first language were recorded when speaking L2-Swedish. These languages exemplify a variety of systems in regard to the usage of stress. The recorded speech was analysed and the observed way of administering stress in L2... (More)
