TABLE I.

Predicted assimilation patterns for the English and Greek monolinguals for the Ma'di prevoiced-voiceless, prevoiced-prenasalized, and prevoiced plosive-implosive contrasts. Discrimination performance is predicted to follow the gradient TC > CG > SC, and UC will depend on the amount of overlap in the assigned category labels for the two Ma'di phones comprising the contrast.
