The Role of Intonation in Foreign Accent.

Van Els, Theo; De Bot, Kees

Modern Language Journal, v71 n2 p147-55 Sum 1987

Investigation of the extent to which recognition of a foreign accent is affected by reducing suprasegmental or segmental information involved the reading of five Dutch sentences by native (N=9) and non-native (N=9) speakers. Results indicated that suprasegmental aspects of speech do play a part in a foreign accent. (CB)
