Description: This study examines phonetic transfer between Bengali and Indian English in a group of proficient bilingual speakers. We measure spectral properties (F1 and F2) of two English vowels, [ʌ] and [æ], to ascertain if L1 influence on L2 increases during mixed-language use, relative to a participant’s unilingual baseline production of L2. Mixed-language data is elicited in two switching paradigms: code-switching and cued picture-naming.
