SLS 201 Basic Language concepts Spring 2021 Final Project, additional guidelines for Step 1 Step 1: Transcription (due 2/8, 11:59pm, 10%). You will have to find a speech sample from an L2 learner of English in which you can identify non-native features at both the sound and grammar level. You will have to transcribe the speech sample in (i) general English orthography, and (ii) IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet). The sample must be long enough for your transcript to contain at least 200 words. There are two options for obtaining a speech sample for this assignment: (1) record someone you know (with their permission), or (2) work with an existing sound- or videofile, e.g., from the internet. More guidance and criteria on both options will be provided in class. Option 1: record someone you know If you choose this option, you must let the person you plan to record know before you record them. Do not record anyone without their prior permission! You must explain to the person you are recording that you will have to hand in an excerpt from the sound/video file to me as part of this assignment. Be sure to get their permission to do this. Let them know that no one other than your teacher (and teaching assistant) will have access to this file. Do not share the recording with anyone else without the speaker's explicit permission. Option 2: use existing sound- or videofile If you choose this option, you may only select a recording from a speaker for whom you have at least basic information about their language background, such as what their native language(s) is/are. If the recording is in the public domain, provide information on how to access it (e.g., url for files retrieved from the internet). If the recording is not in the public domain, you must obtain permission from the speaker as per Option 1 above. To hand in your assignment, you must attach the following files to an email message to yanxinz@hawaii.edu: - A sound or videofile trimmed to the excerpt you chose to transcribe - A Word document containing 1) a brief description of how you obtained your speech sample 2) a brief description of the speaker's language background 3) a brief statement about why you chose this particular speaker and excerpt for this class project 4) your transcription in English orthography 5) your transcription in IPA (broad transcription is sufficient) Finally (6), in your transcript, identify at least one example of a non-native feature at the level of sound (6a), and at least one example of a non-native feature at the level of grammar (6b).

1. The speech excerpt was obtained from a thorough research from YouTube on a topic such
as Japanese English which included listening of different episodes and speeches. Therefore
this excerpt is part of the 2nd All Japanese student English presentation contest posted on
august 14th 2015 by Kanda Gaigo.
2. The speaker is a Japanese student who is presenting to show off the acquired skills in
English as a learned language throughout their institutional curriculum. The speaker elicits
a quite impressive manner in the mastering of the English syntactical structure through
sentence construction. However, the learner is greatly impacted by the Japanese accent
which leads to assimilation of certain English words to nearest Japanese sound system
which is the ...
