Learner Attitudes and L2 Pronunciation in Austria.
Dalton-Puffer, Christiane; And Others
World Englishes, v16 n1 p115-28 Mar 1997
A study investigated attitudes of 132 Austrian university students of English toward three native English accents (standard British, near-standard British, American) and two Austrian non-native accents. Results confirm non-native accents' low status, and indicate personal preference for whichever accent is most familiar from overseas visits. Most preferred standard British. Students without overseas English experience showed more stereotypes. (Author/MSE)
