Differential Response to the Same Message Delivered by Native and Foreign Speakers
Raisler, Iren
Foreign Language Annals, 9, 3, 256-259, May 76
A study is reported investigating the average American's attitude toward faultless English spoken with a foreign accent. The results seem to indicate that the attitude is negative. The possibility is suggested of a link between this attitude and the unpopularity of foreign language study in the United States. (Author/RM)
