Zusammenfassung:
Dialects of the same language can differ in the casual speech
processes they allow; e.g., British English allows the insertion of
[r] at word boundaries in sequences such as saw ice, while
American English does not. In two speeded word recognition
experiments, American listeners heard such British English
sequences; in contrast to non-native listeners, they accurately
perceived intended vowel-initial words even with intrusive [r].
Thus despite input mismatches, cross-dialectal word recognition
benefits from the full power of native-language processing.
