Ortografiens indflydelse på udtalen og den metafonologiske opmærksomhed hos lørnere af dansk som andetsprog
Et case-studie af tre begyndere med slovensk som modersmål

language acquisition, pronunciation, metaphonological awareness, phonetic transferAbstract
This study aims to examine the pronunciation of three adult beginner learners of Danish with Slovenian as their first language in a read-aloud task. None of the three learners have had formal instruction in the Danish language, e.g., through language school or private lessons. I investigate whether their pronunciation is influenced by their first language. Along with that, I observe how metaphonological awareness manifests itself in the individual beginner learner of Danish as a second language. The study shows that there are individual differences but also some similarities between the three speakers. All three speakers show first language transfer on the level of pronunciation in the read-aloud task. The study also shows that the learners use their knowledge of letter-to-sound correspondences from other languages they know and make a transfer from these as well as from their first language. Metaphonological awareness is present but different in all three cases. This indicates that learners make conscious reflections on language already at the beginner level, and that they do this even though they never had any formal instruction in Danish sound-to-letter correspondence. Even beginner-level learners can reflect on and are consciously noticing the correspondences.
