The Phonological Problems of Edo (Bini) Speakers of English.

Fakuade, Gbenga

British Journal of Language Teaching, v27 n1 p18-23 Spr 1989

A contrastive analysis of Edo (Bini) and English reveals problems that Edo first language speakers may encounter in learning English-as-a-Second-Language, and identifies the potential problem areas: 1) the consonant system; 2) allophones and their distribution; 3) syllable structure; and 4) suprasegmental features.
