Accent and Identity in Learner Varieties of English : A Study with German and French University Students in an English as a Lingua Franca Setting, Hardback Book

Accent and Identity in Learner Varieties of English : A Study with German and French University Students in an English as a Lingua Franca Setting Hardback

Part of the Inquiries in Language Learning series

Hardback

Description

This mixed-methods study investigates the link between accent and identity in an English as a lingua franca setting.

The subjects, German and French university students living in Scandinavia, pursue their study programmes and every-day lives in English.

A quantitative speech data analysis of eight phonetic features describes the speakers' accents, while a qualitative analysis of introspective interview data exhibits how they differ in terms of identity.

The results provide an in-depth understanding of individuals using English as a lingua franca.

Do the German and French speakers of English alter or keep their foreign accents in order to express identity in the seemingly neutral Scandinavian setting?
