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.
