Euro-English Accents : Pride and Prejudice
(2005)General Linguistics
- Abstract
- This study considered whether or not 20 female Swedish high school students(the listeners) responded differently to and to what extent were able to correctly identify nine European female non-native English speakers and if contact amounting to more than one month with a foreign culture affected their reponses. The connection between identity and language, Euro-English and attitude studies serve as a background to an 18 question 6-point Likert scale language attitude survey based on power, solidarity, and competence qualities.The resulting data revealed that differences were perceived by listeners and that the amount of contact may somewhat negatively affect attitudes, scoring and accent identification.
