| Research Abstract |
This study proposes practical experience of phonetic variants for non-native speakers of English, including visualization tasks and quantitative measures to overcome some of the problems of realizing minute phonetic details as discussed in variationist literature. An acoustic analysis which complements impressionistic descriptions of English rhythm was also conducted, using acoustic indices which have been proposed as useful indicators of language rhythm types.
