Abstract:

What impact do accents have on our lives as we interact with one another? Are
accents more than simple sets of phonetic features that allow us to
differentiate from one dialect, variety or style, to the other? What power
relationships are at work when we speak with what those around us perceive as
an 'accent'? In the 12 chapters of this volume, an international group of
sociolinguists, applied linguists, anthropologists, and scholars in media
studies, develop an innovative approach that we describe as the ‘pragmatics of
accents’. In this volume, we present a variety of languages and go beyond the
traditional structural description of accents. From ideologies in national
contexts, to L2 education, to accent discrimination in the media and the
workplace, this volume embraces a new perspective that focuses on the use of
accents as symbolic resources, and emphasizes the importance of context in the
human experience of accents.
