In spontaneous conversations, words often appear in reduced variants (e.g. 'probly' for 'probably' or 'mis' for 'mist'). Previous research has shown that these variants are problematic for advanced learners. The ERC project 'Foreign casual speech', led by Prof. Mirjam Ernestus, investigates how advanced learners of a foreign language process these reduced pronunciation variants, and how their processing can be improved.
