Language Attitudes and Speech Behavior: New Zealand English and Standard American English.

Ray, George B.; Zahn, Christopher J.

Journal of Language and Social Psychology, v18 n3 p310-19 Sep 1999

Analyzed attitudes of 617 New Zealand listeners toward a New Zealand English speaker and a Standard American English speaker. Speakers altered pitch and rate in their delivery. On balance, the impact of paralinguistic behaviors was greater than that of accent. (Author/SLD)
