description
  • The CrossTowns lexicons are part of a study that deals with foreign accents in the context of speech technology. It focuses on the phonetic variants that occur when speakers of different native languages (L1) with varying degrees of target language (L2) proficiency pronounce foreign city names. This is a sample application of a new method to model non-native pronunciations by rules. To demonstrate the current state of affairs, sample lexicons of 1.000 place names for English, French, and German were compiled and converted into various interlanguage pronunciation lexicons using the accent rule sets
