AB Whereas Spanish word-initial stops can be pre-voiced or voiceless, Korean word-initial stops are alwaysvoiceless, its three-way contrast being distinguished partly by short- vs. long-lag VOT. In intervocalicposition, Spanish voiced stops become spirantized and Korean lenis stops become voiced, resulting incomplicated phonological mappings among the stops in the two languages. In this exploratory study wetested the perceptual assimilation and discrimination of Korean stops by native Spanish (1) naïve listenersand (2) L2 learners of Korean. It was found that both groups of listeners predominantly (roughly 70-90%) assimilated all Korean stops to a Spanish voiceless stop category, with the only major exception being intervocalic lenis stops. Differences between the listener groups were minor in the perception of word-initial stops, but much clearer in the case of intervocalic stops, which we attribute to effects of L2 experience.Discrimination accuracy was largely predicted byperceptual assimilation patterns.
