de Leeuw, Esther; Stockall, Linnaea; Lazaridou-Chatzigoga, Dimitra; Gorba Masip, Celia – Second Language Research, 2021
Spanish native speakers are known to pronounce onset /sC/ clusters in English with a prothetic vowel, as in "esport" for sport, due to their native language phonotactic constraints.
