“…The participants stated that one will be understood well if s/he speaks with a native-like accent. This finding which emphasizes the role of intelligibility as being of considerable importance confirms Bresnahan et al (2012) results which demonstrated that intelligibility of the foreign accent and the learners" positive attitudinal and affective responses are linked to each other. The learners" position here is also remarkably consistent with the views of the English teachers in Majanen"s (2008) study who posited that mother tongue accent can severely hinder the process of mutual understanding.…”

These reactions to linguistic variation prompt listeners to differentiate among speakers and groups of speakers, categorize them, and, ultimately, place them in a social hierarchy (e.g., Labov, 1966;Lambert, 1967;Preston, 1989).…”

“…These participants served as raters in the main experiment. To avoid unwanted variability in attractiveness ratings due to language (Bresnahan, Ohashi, Nebashi, Liu, & Morinaga Shearman, 2002) and, possibly, sexual orientation, participants were required to be native speakers of French and to report being heterosexual.
