This article presents the foundations of the Feature Competition Model (FCM) of segment transfer. The FCM is a proposal to explain how L2 sounds are mapped on to Ll phonological categories. Like previous analyses on segment transfer, the FCM assumes that not all features are of the same prominence in a given phonemic inventory and that feature prominence can be determined through underspecification. Unlike previous analyses, the FCM adopts a dynamic approach to phonology, one which assumes that features do not have discrete values, rather ones which are continuous, of greater or lesser prominence in an inventory. A specific metric for calculating prominence is given, and hypotheses for three LI-L2 contexts are generated and tested. The results of an experiment suggest that the metric has predictive power, but that certain refinements of the formula are necessary. Finally, implications the FCM has for our understanding of developing L2 speech patterns are discussed.
