Abstract
This paper presents SoPhoProST, an interdisciplinary project carried out by the Universities of
Salzburg and Trieste (Heinz / Gärtig / Rocco) set up to explore the impact of the regional phonetic
traits of native Italian speakers on German as L2, as well as their effect on language perception.
The objectives of the project are 1) to identify and analyse the phonetic properties (segmental, phonotactic
and prosodic) characterizing certain regional varieties of Standard Italian, 2) to measure
their impact on the pronunciation of German by the respective native speakers, and 3) to measure
their effect on the perception of and the attitudes towards phonetic features of German as a foreign
language (e.g. features perceived or identified as «typical Italian pronunciation» or «distinctively
regional/northern/southern/Venetian/Florentine», the impact of pronunciation on judgements of
L2-proficiency in German, etc.). In order to answer the research questions, 24 Italian students of
German as L2 were recorded both in Italian and in German. After the presentation of the project
as a whole, the article reports the initial findings of a pilot study on the identification of (regional)
accents in the L2-German recordings by German and Italian speaking subjects, and concludes with
some considerations regarding the possible didactic applications of the data.
