  1. Accent and Dialect What is the difference??? Try to read the following sentence in as many accents as you can… Hi, my name is ………and I love…….. YouTube - harry-enfield Scousers in the pub

  2. Accent: the specific way words are pronounced according to geographical region. Dialect: the language variety of a geographical region or social background. Different forms of grammar, lexis, phonology and semantics affect dialect. You can have a Scouse accent but still speak Standard English

  3. Watch the video. In addition to the accents he also presents a number of STEREOTYPES. What are they?? When I interview a person and he starts dropping his “t s”, like in wa’er for water, or when they say “youse” instead of “you all”, it makes me doubt their abilities I hate it when, in TV shows, a West country accent is used to show when someone is slow or stupid. I don’t think it’s funny YouTube - ?rob bakers supercalifragilisticexpialidocious??

  8. Accommodation Theory Howard Giles proposed the idea that when speakers seek approval in a social situation they are likely to change their speech so that it is similar to their listener. However, if the speaker wants to dissociate him/herself from the speaker they may change their speak to show that they are different. • What are some of the non-standard features of Lauren’s speech? • If Lauren spoke in a RP accent, would you think of her differently? Why? • At the end of Lauren’s “tangent”, what does Tony Blair do and what theory could it perhaps support? YouTube - Lauren Copper meets Tony Blair - Classic Comic Relief
