Acoustic phonetic studies examine the L1 of Polish speakers with professional level
proficiency in English. The studies include two tasks, a production task carried out
entirely in Polish and a phonetic code-switching task in which speakers insert target
Polish words or phrases into an English carrier. Additionally, two phonetic parameters are
studied: the oft-investigated VOT, as well as glottalization vs. sandhi linking of wordinitial
vowels. In monolingual Polish mode, L2 interference was observed for the VOT
parameter, but not for sandhi linking. It is suggested that this discrepancy may be related
to the differing phonological status of the two phonetic parameters. In the code-switching
tasks, VOTs were on the whole more English-like than in monolingual mode, but this
appeared to be a matter of individual performance. An increase in the rate of sandhi
linking in the code-switches, except for the case of one speaker, appeared to be a function
of accelerated production of L1 target itemsThis research was supported by a grant from the Polish National Science Centre
(Narodowe Centrum Nauki), project nr. UMO-2012/05/B/HS2/04036, “Sandhi in second
