Mengyue Wu, Rikke Bundgaard-Nielsen, Brett Baker, Catherine T. Best, Janet Fletcher

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Conference Paper › peer-review

Abstract

![CDATA[The current study investigates how non-native tones are perceived by speakers whose own native language has fewer tones. The analysis is presented within a Perceptual Assimilation Model—Supra-segmental (PAM-S) framework. The results are consistent with PAM-S predictions and indicate both phonetic and phonological assimilation of Cantonese tones by Mandarin speakers.]]
