Reviewer 2 Report

This is an extremely well written paper that will be a great addition to our knowledge of L2 phonological application. I believe that the manuscript needs very minor changes in order to be accepted.

Minor proofreading should be done, specifically:

  • Line 22 > a "compromised" VOT, or, "compromised" VOTs
  • Line 179 > type II errors, or, a type II error
  • Line 193 > based on
  • Line 289 > Figure 2, Amengual, 2011 should be 2012
  • Check most cases of ' "compromise" category' as some may need to be rewritten for grammar

Other aspects

  • Line 70 > Clarify if this quote comes from Williams 1977 or 1980
  • Line 216 > provide citation for this claim
  • Lines 237-8> If I read this correctly, these 20 studies are those listed in Figure 2. If this is the case, state that here.
  • Considering language activation/mode, it should be noted in either the discussion or the conclusion that there are several ways to go about language activation/mode that are not discussed in this paper but should be considered in future research. E.g., cognates (Amengual's 2012 study cited in this study is a great example).
