Research on intelligibility in international encounters has long focused on issues of pronunciation to the detriment of factors such as linguistic co-text and extralinguistic context, which are comparatively well-studied variables in intelligibility research concerning L1 listeners. This paper seeks to expand the scope of international intelligibility research in this respect by reporting on a large-scale study involving 423 nonnative listeners at different proficiency levels, who transcribed words spoken with another nonnative accent under four conditions that varied in the availability of syntactic, semantic, and schematic cues. The results suggest that co-text and context as well as listening proficiency are crucial variables that ought to receive greater attention in research on international intelligibility. The pedagogical implications of these findings are addressed as well.

国际交往中的可懂度研究长期以来一直关注发音问题，而忽视了语言共文本和语言外语境等因素，而这些因素是母语听众可懂度研究中研究相对充分的变量。本文旨在通过报告一项大规模研究来扩大这方面的国际可懂度研究的范围，该研究涉及 423 名不同熟练程度的非母语听众，他们在句法可用性不同的四种条件下转录带有另一种非母语口音的单词，语义和图解线索。结果表明，上下文和上下文以及听力水平是关键变量，在国际清晰度研究中应该受到更多关注。这些发现的教学意义也得到了解决。
