Pre-registration for Influence of Language Dominance on Filipino’s Categorical Perception of English Phonemes

This paper, seeks to investigate the phenomenon of categorical perception among Filipinos from both the Philippines and Singapore who speak English and a native language of the Philippines. The aim is to examine whether one’s dominant language being a language of the Philippines, as opposed to English, may interfere with their ability to accurately perceive some English phonemes as distinct categories.
