Resumen

El presente estudio investiga la posibilidad de que exista relación entre la edad de inicio de adquisición de una L2 y el nivel de competencia fonológica alcanzado en inmigrantes francófonos residentes en España que aprenden español como L2. Los participantes fueron 20 aprendices francófonos de español con diferentes edades de inicio de adquisición y 6 nativos como grupo de control. Se evaluó el grado de acento extranjero en la pronunciación de los informantes a través de un panel de jueces nativos. Para el análisis de los resultados, los informantes fueron clasificados en dos grupos en función de su edad de inicio de adquisición. El análisis de los datos obtenidos muestra la existencia de una relación entre la edad de inicio de adquisición de la L2 y el nivel de competencia fonológica alcanzado. Sin embargo, el análisis de los resultados revela también la existencia de un aprendiz tardío que presentó un nivel de competencia fonológica similar al nativo, sugiriendo que es posible para los aprendices francófonos tardíos alcanzar un nivel de dominio de la pronunciación del español similar al nativo. Los resultados del estudio no son consistentes con la hipótesis de que las diferencias entre niños y adultos en la adquisición de la pronunciación de la L2 se deben a la superación de un periodo crítico (Abrahamsson, 2012; Asher y García, 1969; Granena y Long, 2012; Oyama, 1976).
