Description
This study utilizes perceptual and production data from native speakers to develop a model of the Mandarin tone system. An analysis of perceptual and production data from non-native learners of Chinese is then used to provide an account of how non-native speakers distinguish tone categories that are not employed contrastively in their native language (L1).
