Abstract
The aim of the paper is to demonstrate that universal phonotactic preferences guide the
acquisition of consonant clusters in a second language. The empirical evidence comes from
young learners of English (L2 English) with mother
tongues (L1s) from the following
families: independent (Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese
), Sino-Tibetan (Chinese), Austronesian
(Kosraean, Marshallese, Palauan, Ponapean, Samoan,
Tagalog, Trukese, Visayan), Dravidian
(Tamil) and Slavic (Polish).
