Listeners' Linguistic Experience Affects the Degree of Perceived Nativeness of First Language Pronunciation.

Post hoc pairwise comparisons revealed that the rating differences between the two listener groups were highly significant for AS_early, β = −3.07, SE = 0.79, z = −3.87, p < 0.001, AS_late, β = −3.81, SE = 0.68, z = −5.6, p < 0.001, FS, β = −3.45, SE = 0.69, z = −5.07, p < 0.001, and WP, β = −3.21, SE = 0.76, z = −4.22, p < 0.001, again confirming that BIL raters were less likely than ML raters to judge the bilinguals’ L1 speech as non-native.
