Abstract:

To what extent do our accents determine the way we are perceived by others? Is
foreign accent inevitably associated with social stigma? Accent is a matter of
great public interest given the impact of migration on national and global
affairs, but until now, applied linguistics research has treated accent
largely as a theoretical puzzle. In this fascinating account, Alene Moyer
examines the social, psychological, educational and legal ramifications of
sounding 'foreign'. She explores how accent operates contextually through
analysis of issues such as: the neuro-cognitive constraints on phonological
acquisition, individual factors that contribute to the 'intractability' of
accent, foreign accent as a criterion for workplace discrimination, and the
efficacy of instruction for improving pronunciation. This holistic treatment
of second language accent is an essential resource for graduate students and
researchers interested in applied linguistics, bilingualism and foreign
language education.
