This is the twelfth in the series of working papers published by LOGOS, the Student Linguistics Society at the University of Calgary.

The production and perception of English, French and German intonation
(University of Calgary, 1986-06) Grover, Cynthia
'Foreign accent' has generally been equated with non-native pronunciation and much research has focused on the area of non-native pronunciation (for example, Briere 1966, Flege 1980). We were interested in other components of non-native speech which create or add to the listener's impression of 'foreign accent'. Specifically, we were interested in the role intonation plays in identifying a non-native speaker. It is not known how widely intonation is used to identify speakers of a different language or dialect. This unanswered question forms the central inquiry of this paper.
