On the basis of these and other research findings, non-native prosodic patterns seem to cause an extra processing load for hearers who need to replay parts of the discourse message. Because of this, 'prosodic errors appear to be a more potent force in the loss of intelligibility than phonetic errors' (Munro & Derwing, 1999, p. 286).   (I highlighted the above because prior to this class, I knew that prosodic errors caused loss of intelligibility, but I never though about prosodic errors as being correctable.  I thought this was just the way learners of English talked.)  ]]> 2019-04-19 11:56:10 UTC https://padlet.com/eday524/as31w9tq6vyc/wish/352738478 eday524 https://padlet.com/eday524/as31w9tq6vyc/wish/352738697 Learners’  production (talking) is related to their perception (hearing).
