title = "Cross-language categorisation of monosyllabic Thai tones by Mandarin and Vietnamese speakers : L1 phonological and phonetic influences",
abstract = "This study explores the influences of listeners' native tone inventory on cross-language tone perception. Mandarin, Northern Vietnamese and Southern Vietnamese listeners (n = 13 per group; naive to Thai) categorised Thai tones into their native tone categories. Results show that all three groups categorised most Thai tones into their native tone categories. Their performance suggests that they attended to the phonetic details of the non-native tones, and that their assimilation patterns were influenced by the organisation of their native tone phonological systems as well as by the phonetic distances between native and non-native tones.",
