Lu, Luke – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2023
Despite the prevalence of Singlish use among the Singaporean public, the vernacular is often seen as "bad English" without rules and grammar, or cast as an impediment to learning the standard register (Wee, 2005).

Consequently, given information is often deaccented and new information is usually accented in most varieties of English. However, some nonnative varieties, such as…
