Frequency of use and sonority sequencing in first- and second-language consonant cluster perception: facilitation is language-specific

This suggests that it is experience with language-specific distributions that guides sublexical speech processing, also in an L2, while sonority sequencing does not play a facilitative role but rather seems to be correlated with a factor inhibiting successful recognition.
