Abstract:
Given the increasing use of English worldwide and in intercultural
communication, there is a growing interest in attitudes towards non-native
speaker accents in English. Research on attitudes towards non-native English
accents is therefore important because of concerns about positive and negative
discrimination between people who speak with different accents. This book
reveals exactly what types of accent variations trigger positive and negative
attitudes towards the speaker.
The author argues that certain types of variation in the pronunciation of
English can have a significant effect on how listeners identify an accent and
explores how this variation affects the development of certain attitudes
towards the speaker. Specific sounds that are difficult for many learners to
acquire (e.g. the initial sounds in ‘this’ or ‘June’) are examined in terms of
attitudes towards speakers’ pronunciation, including an original comparison of
two different kinds of non-native accents (German and Greek). The results of
the study provide a basis for further research in second language acquisition
and applied linguistics as well as practical information for language
instructors at all levels of English education.
