Accent Perception
Listeners hear speech in different regional, social, or non-native accents and rate or categorize the speakers along social-evaluative dimensions (e.g. friendliness, intelligence, geographic origin) or make perceptual judgements (intelligibility, dialect identification). Developmental version (Kinzler line) tracks the emergence of accent-based social preferences in children.
