These output-based studies provide some grounds for hypothesizing that there may be age-related differences in children's input processing of unfamiliar accents.
It is suggested that such phonetic responses are related to the younger children's failure to map the unfamiliar accent onto their own phonological representations.
Can children with speech difficulties process an unfamiliar accent?
Reliability coefficients (standardized alpha) of 0.95 and 0.94 were calculated for the accent and perceived comprehensibility ratings, respectively.
Another result has been the increase of multi-voicedness in market discourse - a greater number of accents, dialects, and ethnic minority languages.
The comparatively narrow accent range of pitch elevations throughout the period of study confirmed these physiological, linguistic, and developmental expectations.
However, since only pitch is involved, it is clear that the abstract accent is nothing but 'an indication of pitch'.
For the purposes of this article, this task is referred to as an accent auditory lexical decision task.
