This quantitative research was conducted to investigate a potential relationship between three measures of musicality and second language speech, specifically discourse intonation. The three measures of musicality were total hours of musical training (if any), and two pitch recognition tests. Discourse intonation was measured by a software program's instant speech recognition ratings of how closely participants matched a target speaker's speech using nine pre-selected phrases.

520 $a This quantitative research was conducted to investigate a potential relationship between three measures of musicality and second language speech, specifically discourse intonation. The three measures of musicality were total hours of musical training (if any), and two pitch recognition tests. Discourse intonation was measured by a software program's instant speech recognition ratings of how closely participants matched a target speaker's speech using nine pre-selected phrases.
520 $a Twenty-two adult ESL students from a private ESL school and a local community college in the San Francisco Bay Area completed background questionnaires and interviews. The two research questions addressed were (a) What is the relationship, if any, between three different measures of musicality and discourse intonation? and (b) Is there a significant relationship between discourse intonation in students whose native language are tonal and those whose native languages are atonal? Two multiple regression analyses were conducted with different dependent variables using the enter, and then stepwise, methods using SPSS software.
520 $a While no significant relationships were found between many of the variables asked by the research questions, a statistically significant relationship was found between participants whose native language was a tonal one and the discourse intonation scores given to them by ESL teachers. One contributing factor to the outcome of this study was the small sample size of twenty-two participants.
520 $a Theorists such as Lenneberg, Chomsky, and Krashen are among those who posit that a system for language learning is in place naturally, whereas Taub and Pascual-Leone support the more recent phenomenon of neuroplasticity, which states that nurture plays a major role in the formation of linguistic and musical capabilities (among others). This research explores literature pertinent to music and language learning, some of which falls on the nature side of the spectrum, and some of which falls on the nurture side. Recommendations include encouraging early musical training for those interested in learning other languages, especially tonal ones, and replication of this study with a greater number of participants.
