This mixed-methods study investigates the link between accent and identity in English as a lingua franca setting. A quantitative speech data analysis of eight phonetic features describes the German and French speakers’ accents, while a qualitative analysis of introspective interview data exhibits how they differ in terms of identity.



This mixed-methods study investigates the link between accent and identity in English as a lingua franca setting. The subjects, German and French university students living in Scandinavia, pursue their study programmes and every-day lives in English. A quantitative speech data analysis of eight phonetic features describes the speakers’ accents, while a qualitative analysis of introspective interview data exhibits how they differ in terms of identity. The results provide an in-depth understanding of individuals using English as a lingua franca. Do the German and French speakers of English alter or keep their foreign accents in order to express identity in the seemingly neutral Scandinavian setting?
