This lecture gives an overview of many different accents of English that have developed world-wide, including the British, Scottish, American, Canadian, Australian, Indian, Singaporean and Nigerian accents. Apart from describing the segmental and prosodic characteristics of these accents and discussing factors that might have influenced them, the lecture will also focus on various methods for investigating accent differences: e.g. the auditory method, acoustic analyses as well as models of speech rhythm and intonation.
