This paper examines how American listeners’ expectations of non‐native English speech from speakers of East Asian descent can be modulated by the persona invoked by a speaker's visual display. While prior work has typically linked expectations of non‐native speaker status with East Asian‐ness broadly construed, this study indicates that US listeners’ expectations can be tied to more particular manifestations of this racialized identity, themselves informed by raciolinguistic ideologies. In a lexical recall task with persona‐based photographic primes, different visual styles embodied by the same Korean individual induced contrasting expectations of “foreign accented” speech, which corresponded to significant differences in how well the speech was remembered. Ultimately, I argue that models of sociolinguistic perception should include cognitive representations of social constructs like personae, not only to better capture the detailed nature of listeners’ sociolinguistic expectations, but also to avoid perpetuating homogenizing treatments of racialized groups’ language practices.

复杂的类别:Personae调解了对非母语语音的种族化期望

本文探讨了如何通过角色角色来调节美国听众对东亚裔演讲者对非母语英语演讲的期望由发言人的视觉显示调用。尽管先前的工作通常将对非母语人士身份的期望与广泛解释的东亚联系起来,但这项研究表明,美国听众的期望可以与种族主义身份的更具体表现联系在一起,而种族主义意识形态则使他们自己得到了认同。在以人物角色为基础的照片素词的词汇回忆任务中,同一韩国人所体现的不同视觉风格引起了对“外国口音”语音的不同期望,这对应于语音记忆的显着差异。最终,我认为社会语言感知模型应该包括对社会结构(如角色)的认知表示,不仅是为了更好地捕捉听众对社会语言期望的详细性质,
