| Abstract | Research has suggested that the Perceptual Assimilation Model for Suprasegmentals (PAM-S) predicts non-native tone discrimination. This study investigates whether PAM-S applies to sequence recall. Twenty-two Punjabi speakers completed a Cantonese tone perceptual assimilation task and a Cantonese tone sequence recall task. In the perceptual assimilation task, Punjabi speakers assimilated the Cantonese level tone contrast (T1-T3) and the contour tone contrast (T4-T5) as single category (SC) and uncategorized-categorized pair without overlap category (UCno), respectively. In the sequence recall task, they recalled T4-T5 (UCno) more accurately than T1-T3 (SC) across different sequence lengths. The findings are consistent with the prediction of PAM-S on sequence recall. Moreover, memory load does not seem to limit its applicability. |
