Accent Accommodation

Accent Accommodation is a linguistic adaptation strategy within the broader framework of Communication Accommodation Theory, whereby a speaker modifies their phonological features, particularly vowel and consonant production, intonation, and rhythm, to converge toward or diverge from the perceived accent of an interlocutor in order to manage social identity, interpersonal rapport, or group membership in communicative interactions.
