💨 Abstract

The article discusses the impact of foreign accents on communication and perception in a globalized world. Foreign accents can create barriers in understanding and social interaction due to differences in intonation, melody, rhythm, and tone. Processing foreign accents requires more cognitive effort than processing a native accent, which can lead to reduced perception of irony and lower linguistic competence assumptions.
