A Final Call For Participants For Accent Rating Task For My Linguistic Assignment!!!

[chao_yang622]

Hi ,

I'm a student in linguistics and I'm studying people's attitudes toward accents.

Could you please spare 5 minutes and help me fill in this survey? It consists of 6 short sentences, all you need to do is to listen to them, follow your instinct and rate the speaker!

My other participants told me it was actually fun!!

Your help you be much appreciated!! Thank you !!!

Hi, I have done it. At the end it said there were many sentences, but only six would be studied. I'm sure I only heard six.

OH！！！yep that is my mistake. This survey was quite long originally and many people just quit, so I cut it short, but forgot to make adjustment to the final page... Thanks for your reminder!

Good luck
I spotted the vowel insertions
and found it interesting to wonder if it made them sound more or less educated.
While you are at it - Yang, you can tell me - when the English say nineteen as opposed to ninety... and omit the /n/ is there a tone change to help the distinction ?
Most linguists may say there is a glottal stop - btu that would be because they dont study tonal languages 1

thanks - anyway good luck
