Popis: In the current study, we test the discrimination of four basic English tone contours in monosyllabic words by Polish learners using an AXB task and we compare these results to the results of an identifi cation test. Discrimination does not require access to phonological labels and is claimed to tap core auditory mechanism. Relatively high discrimination performance by Polish learners and poor identifi cation performance indicate that diffi culties with correct identifi cation of English tones are solely diffi culties with labelling.
