To ensure smooth communication and collaboration, here are some troubleshooting tips to address common issues:
  1. Check Internet Connection: Verify that you have a stable and reliable internet connection. Use a wired connection when possible, as it tends to be more stable than Wi-Fi. If using Wi-Fi, make sure you have a strong signal.
  2. Update the Browser or App: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the web browser. Developers frequently release updates to address bugs and improve performance.
  3. Clear Browser Cache: Sometimes, cached data can cause conflicts or issues. Clear the browser cache and cookies before joining the meeting.
  4. Test Audio and Video: Before the meeting, check your microphone and camera to ensure they are working correctly. If you are a speaker, you can click on "Start Practice Session" button test to ensure audio and video devices are functioning.
  5. Close Other Applications: Running multiple applications in the background can consume system resources and lead to performance issues. Close unnecessary apps to free up resources for the Dryfta meeting platform.
  6. Restart Your Device: If you encounter persistent issues, try restarting your computer or mobile device. This can help resolve various software-related problems.
  7. Use Supported Browsers: Ensure you are using a browser supported by the meeting platform. Recommended browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
  8. Allow Necessary Permissions: Make sure the Dryfta meeting platform has the required permissions to access your microphone, camera, and other necessary features.
  9. Disable VPN or Firewall: Sometimes, VPNs or firewalls can interfere with the connection to the meeting platform. Temporarily disable them and see if the issue persists.
  10. Switch Devices: If possible, try joining the meeting from a different device to see if the problem is specific to one device.
  11. Reduce Bandwidth Usage: In cases of slow or unstable internet connections, ask participants to disable video or share video selectively to reduce bandwidth consumption.
  12. Update Drivers and Software: Ensure your operating system, audio drivers, and video drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers can cause compatibility issues with the Dryfta meeting platform.
  13. Contact Support: If none of the above steps resolve the issue, reach out to the platform's support team. They can provide personalized assistance and troubleshoot specific problems.
By following these troubleshooting tips, you can tackle many common problems encountered on Dryfta meeting platform and have a more productive and seamless meeting experience.

Session Information

Extant studies into the acquisition of third language (L3) phonology report complex patterns of interaction between native and non-native languages. These studies have often focused either on a single point in time or been cross-sectional in design, which may preclude our full understanding of the nature of L3 phonological development. The aim of this symposium is thus to address this methodological gap and invite scholars working in the field to explore two core questions: 1. What is the (changing) role of the background languages in the course of L3 phonological development? 2. How is the phonology of the background languages affected with the increasing L3 use and experience? By examining the multidirectional dynamic nature of cross-linguistic influence in the multilingual's perception and production over time, we hope to advance research on this prevalent yet under-researched aspect of L3 acquisition. The evidence from process-oriented L3 phonology studies with diverse language pairings will be discussed also from a pedagogical perspective.

Epistemological and methodological considerations in the examination of regressive L3 phonological effects on an L1 versus L2

Featured 02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
In this talk on regressive effects of L3 phonology, I lay out the specific research questions and hypotheses that drive this line of inquiry, review what we (don’t) currently know about L3 regressive effects, and present some critical methodological considerations to keep in mind as we move forward.

CLI trends in the perception and production of L2/L3 rhotics in adolescents; L1 group comparison

StandardAILA Symposium 02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
The study investigated longitudinal patterns of cross-linguistic influence (CLI) in production and perception of rhotic sounds in young multilinguals. It involved two groups of participants with L1 Polish or German; L2 English and L3 German or Polish, tested three times. The results show non-linear developmental trajectories in both modalities and L1 group effects.

Re-attunement in L3 speech perception

StandardAILA Symposium 02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
We will shed some light on the processes and mechanisms involved in the development of L3 speech perception. More specifically, we will analyse the adaptive processes by which multilinguals accommodate new features and modify the existing ones.

Speech perception development in young multilinguals: Evidence from multi-feature analyses

Standard 02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
This study traced the perceptual development of 13 multilinguals over the first year of L3 instructed learning. The overall results point to a non-linear development of foreign language phonology, diverse, feature-dependent CLI patterns and differential learnability of phonetic features.

VOT patterns in the English of heritage speakers

StandardAILA Symposium 02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
This study examines VOT in L3 English in German-dominant HSs of Italian with differing amounts of HL use. We find that transfer from the dominant language persists and, unlike global foreign accent in the same population, no role was found for individual differences in amounts of HL use.

The development of vowel production in L2 and L3 over the first year of L3 learning

StandardAILA Symposium 02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
This longitudinal production study tracks the changes in formant values for the vowels of L2 and L3. The study was conducted on a group of 14 Polish adolescent multilinguals and shows that L3 vowels changed in quality over the first year of acquisition, while the L2 vowels remained the same.

Multilingual phonological development through the lens of different time scales

StandardAILA Symposium 02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
The present study investigates cross-linguistic patterns of multilingual phonological development in seven adult speakers. By combining longitudinal group data with dense data from two individuals, this contribution illustrates that process-oriented analyses of intra-individual variability importantly contribute to our understanding of the nature of multilingual speech learning.

Do the background languages change with increasing exposure to L3? Comparing cross-linguistic influence in adolescent and adult multilingual learners

StandardAILA Symposium 02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
This longitudinal study explores regressive phonological cross-lingustic influence in 14 multilingual speakers (7adolescents and 7 adults) by examining VOT in their L1, L2, and L3 throughout the first year of L3 learning. For the adolescent group, significant changes to both their L1 and L2 over time were found, while the adults' background languages remained relatively stable on the group level. However, for both groups, much individual variation was uncovered.

The effect of L3 training on vowel reduction in L2 and L3

StandardAILA Symposium 02:30 PM - 06:00 PM (Europe/Amsterdam) 2021/08/18 12:30:00 UTC - 2022/08/18 16:00:00 UTC
This longitudinal study examines the change in vowel reduction in L2 English under the influence of L3 training. The participants including 10 university students, some with vowel-reducing L3 German, and some with non-reducing L3 French, are compared for vowel reduction in their L2 English performance over time.
