Accent Modification as a Raciolinguistic Ideology: A Commentary in Response to Burda et al. (2022)
Abstract
In this commentary, we collectively examine a recent article titled “Effectiveness of Intense Accent Modification Training with Refugees from Burma†by Burda et al. (2022). Whilst our response is aimed at revealing the theoretical and methodological shortcomings of Burda et al., it will also expose the raciolinguistic ideologies in accent modification and highlight the need for careful ethical considerations on vulnerable populations, such as refugees and asylum seekers.
Keywords: accent modification, raciolingustic ideology, refugees, native speakerism, culturally sustaining approaches, accent advocacy
