Abstract

This study examined the evaluation of standard-accented English (SAE) and nonstandard accented English (non-SAE) speakers in the United States. Results of an experiment (N = 670) manipulating accent, nationality/L1 introduction, and speaker sex revealed main effects for accent on the evaluation of status, solidarity, and dynamism, and a main effect of speaker sex on solidarity. Additionally, an interaction effect between accent and nationality/L1 introduction on status and dynamism was found, as was an interaction effect of accent and speaker sex on dynamism. These results suggest complexity in the evaluation of non-SAE speakers and are discussed in relation to language attitudes and intergroup communication.

“哦，我喜欢你的口音”:标准和非标准口音英语说话者的感知和评估

这项研究考察了对美国标准重音英语（SAE）和非标准重音英语使用者（非SAE）的评价。操纵口音、国籍/L1介绍和说话者性别的实验结果（N=670）揭示了口音对地位、团结和活力评估的主要影响，以及说话者性别对团结的主要影响。此外，还发现口音和国籍/L1引入对地位和活力的交互作用，以及口音和说话者性别对活力的交互影响。这些结果表明，对非SAE使用者的评估很复杂，并与语言态度和群体间交流有关。
