Abstract:

This book focuses on an increasingly attractive, yet controversial topic of
non-native accentedness in speech. The contributors here are aware of the fact
that the mechanisms and effects of pronunciation are far too complex to allow
for strong and definite claims of any sort, but present research leading to
useful answers to relevant questions. The book contributes to the deeper
understanding of many aspects of foreign-accented English with reference to
clearly described empirical evidence.

The volume brings together fourteen chapters organized into four subdivisions,
covering conceptual and perceptual issues, questions of segmental and
suprasegmental pronunciation features, and methodological and didactic
recommendations. As such, it provides a cross-sectional view of the current
phonetic and didactic empirical research into the pronunciation of non-native
English.
