Accent in North American Film and Television

Beschreibung

A guide to film and TV accents for linguists, media scholars, actors, and dialect coaches. It shows how pronunciation has changed since the 1930s, and how it continues to reflect the regional background, gender and ethnic ancestry of actors today, while also exploring the relationship between on-screen and off-screen speech.
