Sociocultural-Linguistics & Pragmatics The Influence of Perceived Race on Ratings of Accentedness more
Sat, Nov 13, 11:25-11:50 Asia/Tokyo
Do people hear the same voice differently, depending on the face they see? Will they report hearing a foreign accent when presented with a photograph of a foreigner (when the speaker is actually a native speaker)? This study investigated how perceived race affected 223 listeners’ ratings of intelligibility, comprehensibility, and accentedness. Findings indicate a strong effect of racial bias regarding accentedness, and disparate attributions of listening difficulty depending on the perceived race of the speaker.
