“…Some elements of the selective resynthesis and suppression technique have been used previously using terms such as accent morphing and prosody transplantation in sociophonetic research (Boula de Mareüil and Boutin 2011;Drager 2010;Levon 2007;Leyden and Heuven 2006;Leyden 2004;Malarski 2013;Vaissière and Mareüil 2004) and research on the salient features in the foreign accents of language learners (Boula de Mareüil and Vieru-Dimulescu 2006;Jilka 2000a,b;Munro 1995). However, to the best of the author's knowledge, previous research has not attempted to resynthesise utterances by one speaker with the speech rhythm of another speaker and has not investigated the interaction of various prosodic and segmental features to the extent that the present study does.…”

The series will publish studies in the general area of Speech Prosody with a particular (but non-exclusive) focus on the importance of phonetics and phonology in this field. The topic of speech prosody is today a far larger area of research than is often realised. The number of papers on the topic presented at large international conferences such as Interspeech and ICPhS is considerable and regularly increasing. The proposed book series would be the natural place to publish extended versions of papers presented at the Speech Prosody Conferences, in particular the papers presented in Special Sessions at the conference. This could potentially involve the publication of 3 or 4 volumes every two years ensuring a stable future for the book series. If such publications are produced fairly rapidly, they will in turn provide a strong incentive for the organisation of other special sessions at future Speech Prosody conferences.More information about this series at

“…And broadly speaking, all accents by definition exhibit 'distinctive' sounds that identify the accent to interlocutors. Nonetheless, the choices I have made below pertain to what are arguably the more identifiable sounds associated with a given accent -reflective of what Cruttenden (2014) might refer to as 'distinctive vowels'; and the sounds selected are themselves informed by relevant literature on the representative accents within the table and their specific sound features: Liverpool (Honeybone, 2007;Watson, 2007); Birmingham (Clark & Asprey, 2013;Malarski, 2013); Newcastle (Beal, 1999;Jensen, 2016;Kerswill, 2002;Watt, 2000Watt, , 2002 and Yorkshire (Hickey, 2015;Stoddart et al, 1999;Strycharczuk et al, 2020).…”

This paper investigates accent variation within the UK, applied to the professional context of teaching. The purpose is two‐fold: first, to discuss a variety of accents in contemporary Britain, demonstrating how accents can be categorised based on the degree to which they mark the speaker's local origins. Second, by focusing on teachers’ accents within the context of teacher training in the UK, information can be obtained regarding which particular accent varieties are preferred in a profession in which accent is relevant to professional behaviour. In addition, two aims can serve to provide a better understanding of what are, in effect, suggested ‘standard’ accents within the teaching profession.

“…Many researchers have reviewed accent in detail (e.g. Coupland and Bishop 2007;Kerswill and Torgersen 2017;Lev-Ari and Keysar 2010;Malarski 2013;Moyer 2013). The purpose of this section is not a comprehensive account of accents, but rather to briefly highlight some research about three accents that are of relevance to the current work: Received Pronunciation (RP), Multicultural London English (MLE) and Birmingham.…”

impact of British accents on perceptions of eyewitness statements

The current study looked at the impact of British regional accents on evaluations of eyewitness testimony in criminal trials. Ninety participants were randomly presented with one of three video recordings of eyewitness testimony manipulated to be representative of Received Pronunciation (RP), Multicultural London English (MLE) or Birmingham accents. The impact of the accent was measured through eyewitness (a) accuracy, (b) credibility, (c) deception, (d) prestige, and (e) trial outcome (defendant guilt and sentence). RP was rated more favourably than MLE on accuracy, credibility and prestige. Accuracy and prestige were significant with RP rated more highly than a Birmingham accent. RP appears to be viewed more favourably than the MLE and Birmingham accents although the witness’s accents did not affect ratings of defendant guilt. Taken together, these findings show a preference for eyewitnesses to have RP speech over some regional accents.
