	Accent (linguistics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Accents mark speakers as a member of a group by their pronunciation of the standard language.
		Accent should not be confused with dialect which is a variety of language differing in pronunciation, vocabulary, and grammar.
		A foreign accent is marked by the phonology of other languages (or one other language) which the speaker of an acquired language unconsciously interprets as identical with the phonemes of the spoken language; i.e.

		In the case of Japanese, he suggested that accent was an impressionistic sum of pitch and loudness.
		He thus claimed that the F0 data by themselves are not sufficient for determining the accent pattern, and that since, in his data, the amplitude peak fell on the accented syllable in the words in which the F0 fall was delayed, both F0 and amplitude are distinctive features in the Japanese accentual system.
		In fact, Japanese accent is similar to English accent, as Beckman and Pierrehumbert (1986) and Pierrehumbert and Beckman (1988) have convincingly argued.

	How to speak a foreign language without accent (page 2) \| Antimoon Forum
		Speaking a language with a foreign accent is an imperfection.
		Language is. A language learner needs a model of correct usage and of how to pronounce the sounds of a new language.
		I consider conventional language teaching, for example much of the study of second language teaching taught in university, a lot of grammatical detail, discussions of phonemes, sociolinguistics, etc. to be the major obstacle to achieving this dream.

		The teaching of foreign languages at the elementary school level is alive and well — and even thriving — in the Greater Washington area.
		Ideally, educators say, language is taught in the course of learning other subject matter — so that vocabulary and grammar are absorbed not for their own sake but as a way of acquiring information a student cares about.
		Studies over the years have shown that the skills a child acquires in the course of mastering one or two languages that are not his or her native tongue transfer into other areas, says Nancy Rhodes, director of foreign-language education at the Center for Applied Linguistics in Northwest.

	What Do ESL Students Say About Their Accents? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		To contribute more to our understanding of the nature of accented speech and the effects it has on its speakers, this study goes to the original source: 100 ESL learners, all immigrants to Canada, were interviewed about their own experiences on the issue of accent.
		Purcell and Suter (1980) demonstrated that native language, aptitude for oral mimicry, length of residence, and strength of concern for pronunciation accuracy all factor into one's ultimate attainment in acquiring the phonology of a second language.
		Indeed, a preliminary study of native speakers who were taught to listen to accented speech showed a significant change in listeners' confidence in their ability to understand individuals who have a different accent and a greater willingness to attend to accented speech (Derwing, Munro, and Rossiter, 2002).
