From meaning to sound: how word learning shapes non-native speech perception
These findings highlight that while meaning-based training through CSWL can support early lexical and phonological learning, perceptual challenges remain for difficult contrasts. The study advances our understanding of how word learning and sound perception interact during second language acquisition and demonstrates the potential of lexically grounded approaches for perceptual training at the onset of learning.
