In this class we will explore a number of issues surrounding accents. These include: whether accent affects comprehensibility/intelligibility; attitudes surrounding accents (e.g., Scottish English sounds trustworthy); accents and phoneme perception (e.g., if you can't produce a | , can you at least hear it?); and whether an accent affects perceptions of grammaticality. General familiarity with IPA symbols is expected, but we will be dealing with issues of phonology and accentedness rather than focusing on reading and producing transcripts.
