This paper examines place and voicing features of the English fricatives in the speech of Yoruba-English bilinguals. The perceptual-similarity approach which was introduced by Fleischhacker (2001) was adopted in the analysis of the data in the study. Findings show that ontrasts in place and voicing features of fricatives are more perceptible than contrasts in manner features. It was also discovered from the findings that in the adaptation of foreign fricatives, manner feature of the output demonstrates partial flexibility, while place and voicing features are resistant to change.
