520 |a This paper presents the results of an experiment designed to investigate some of the effects of bilingualism on perception. The subjects were Icelandic monolinguals and Icelandic-English bilinguals. The phonetic parameter under investigation was duration. The experiment was designed to test which of the following three hypotheses accurately predict the perceptual responses of bilinguals: (1) the null hypothesis (predicting no interference between the two languages); (2) the awareness hypothesis (predicting more accurate perception in bilinguals); and (3) the confusion hypothesis (predicting less accurate perception in bilinguals). A listening test was administered which consisted of stimuli based on the minimal pair "is" [i:s] and "iss" [is:]. Findings include the following: (1) vowel length is a more salient clue than consonant length in the perception of the quantity opposition; (2) significant support is found for the third hypothesis which predicts confusion in the perception of the bilinguals; and (3) there is a significant difference in the perception of the quantity system of Icelandic between monolingual and bilingual native speakers of the language.
