This paper examined the speech sound errors in the sentences of five adult Japanese English Langue Learners (ELLs) and classified the errors as phonological processes. The processes observed were compared to the established developmental processes exhibited by monolingual English speaking children to provide insight into the similarities between L1 phonological acquisition and L2 phonological learning. The results revealed that a majority of the incorrect phonemes are also phonemes that are mastered late in the development of English speaking children. A great deal of variation in rate of occurrence of different phonological processes existed across speakers. Rounding, tensing, decentralization, vowelization, final devoicing, and cluster reduction were the most frequently occurring vowel and consonant processes. The results of this study are interpreted in relation to markedness and a contrastive analysis between Japanese and English phonetic inventories. Clinical implications with respect to pronunciation instruction for ELLs are also addressed.
