Type: article
Abstract: This paper provides a critical review on the major models of speech perception in second language (L2) acquisition. It is argued that some new models, such as L2LP and ASP, have more explanatory power for L2 speech perception. However, due to the different theoretical frameworks, objectives and hypotheses in these models, it is difficult to integrate these models into one which is universally applicable. Although most of these models were proposed for accounting for the perception of L2 segments, they can also be applied in the perception of L2 prosody. When these models are used in examining L2 speech prosody, the prosodic systems of both L1 and L2 should be thoroughly investigated first.
