Languages differ in the importance of acoustic dimensions for speech categorization. This poses a potential challenge for second language (L2) learners, and the extent to which adult L2 learners can acquire new perceptual strategies for speech categorization remains unclear. This study investigated the effects of extensive English L2 immersion on speech perception strategies and dimension-selective-attention ability in native Mandarin speakers. Experienced first language (L1) Mandarin speakers (length of U.K. residence > 3 years) demonstrated more native-like weighting of cues to L2 suprasegmental categorization relative to inexperienced Mandarin speakers (length of residence < 1 year), weighting duration more highly. However, both the experienced and the inexperienced Mandarin speakers continued to weight duration less highly and pitch more highly during musical beat categorization and struggled to ignore pitch and selectively attend to amplitude in speech, relative to native English speakers. These results suggest that adult L2 experience can lead to retuning of perceptual strategies in specific contexts, but global acoustic salience is more resistant to change.

语言在言语分类中对声学维度的重视程度不同。这对第二语言（L2）学习者来说是一个潜在的挑战，成人 L2 学习者在多大程度上能够获得新的言语分类感知策略仍不清楚。本研究调查了广泛的英语 L2 沉浸式学习对母语为普通话的人言语感知策略和维度选择性注意能力的影响。有经验的母语为普通话的人（在英国居住时间>3 年）相对于没有经验的母语为普通话的人（居住时间<1 年）对 L2 超音段分类的线索有更接近母语的权重，更重视时长。然而，无论是有经验的还是没有经验的母语为普通话的人在音乐节拍分类时仍然不太重视时长，而更重视音高，并且在言语分类时难以忽略音高并选择性地关注振幅，而母语为英语的人则不然。这些结果表明，成人 L2 经验可以导致特定语境下感知策略的重新调整，但整体声学显著性更难改变。
