Accent Acquisition

Accent Acquisition is a theoretical construct within the study of age effects in second language acquisition that specifically refers to the process by which learners develop proficiency in the phonological features of a target language accent, distinguished from broader language acquisition by its focus on suprasegmental and segmental pronunciation patterns influenced by the critical period hypothesis.
