ABX-Discriminability Measures and Applications. (Mesures de discriminabilité ABX et applications) (2016, background): “We are able to investigate both global effects in the perception of phonetic categories (for example phonetic contrasts of a language are globally harder to discriminate for non-native speakers than for native speakers [216]) and local effects (for example related to the perception of American Engli”
When does native language input affect phonetic perception? The precocious case of lexical tone (2013, background): “Rather, it appears that Cantonese-and Mandarin-learning infants both show distinct, language-specific perceptual patterns from at least 4 months of age, which appear to carry over into adulthood (e.g., Francis et al., 2008; Lee et al., 1996; So & Best, 2010).”
COMMUNICATIVE FOCUS ON FORM AND SECOND LANGUAGE SUPRASEGMENTAL LEARNING (2014, background): “In contrast, So and Best (2010) remained neutral about the relative difficulty of the acquisition of the Mandarin T2 [35] and T4 [51] contrast, arguably because there exist various possible scenarios: The learners may assimilate the Mandarin tone contrast to the Cantonese T2 [25/35] and T4 [21]…”
Unfamiliar orthographic information and second language word learning: A novel lexicon study (2013, result): “In contrast with the findings of some studies of Mandarin tone discrimination by native English speakers (e.g. Francis et al., 2008; Hao, 2012; So and Best, 2010), we found no significant effect of tone on performance in either of the two experiments.”
