of English, approached from a variety of theoretical and/or practical
perspectives. The key issues discussed each year include individual accent
characteristics, the dynamism of accent usage, accent teaching and learning,
and the methods and tools for accent studies. ACCENTS 2017 aim to continue the
discussion of the main themes of variability and function of accents, focusing
on 'accents in use'.
