title = "Foreign-accent in second language Mandarin Chinese",
abstract = "This chapter discusses second language pronunciation of Mandarin from the perspective of the native Mandarin speakers who listen to it. For such listeners, second language Mandarin often bears a noticeable foreign accent. I will provide a framework for defining foreign accent and for distinguishing accented pronunciation from pronunciation errors. I will then review the results of research related to foreign-accented Mandarin and how it affects listeners{\textquoteright} judgments, comprehension, and the efficiency with which they process second language Mandarin speech. Naturally, lexical tones will receive special attention in this discussion.",
