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
by Stefanie Rottschafer
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?
